Here she is at MAN in 1996…

one in mid conversion to DHL freighter…

G-BIKB was the first ever BA 757 I saw on the 1st day ever of BA service on the LHR-GLA shuttle route in February 1983. I had to nip away from school at lunchtime to get a “first” look at it.

It was so ultra modern compared to the Trident it replaced, it even made the BBC news that day.

I think G-BIKA was used on the same day to inauguarate the LHR-EDI shuttle service ?

Ah…. happy days…..:D

I wonder if we’ll see a rash of “luxury” travel airlines sprouting up to cater for the rich and famous who’ve become used to the high life on Concorde ?

If they were willing to pay thousands to travel faster, they might be willing to pay to travel in a kind of super 1st class ?

Just a thought.

Ha ha, you’re absolutely right. Did I mention I dropped out of Physics class at an early stage ? 😀

I work in the media Bhoy. You’re confusing “media bollocks” with journalistic bollocks. Those of us at the “better” end of the business are always being tarred with the same brush as that applied to our less diligent cousins at the “hack” end of the spectrum.:D

I thenck yoo :rolleyes:

This Aerolineas Argentinas was one of a batch overhauled and repainted by BA maintenance for the airline at Glasgow.
