Well said, Johnny Kavanagh. I’m amazed at all these posts that suggest that G-BOAB will either fall apart because it’s “near water” or become a guano-enctrustred eyesore because the people managing a major tourist attraction don’t factor in the need to clean it!
It’s “near water” every other day at the moment, and there are plenty of birds around the BA maintenance area. And AB is surviving well, and looking OK. It’ll last better after a repaint with some decent weather protective paint, which would surely be part of any properly budgeted plan?
It’s a great idea, and one that will keep the aicraft here in Britain, not Dubai or some other destination.
Creaking Door – it was originally mooted that AB would go either inside or outside T5, but the plans changed. Which is why it’s where it is today.
