British Airways B747-400 G-CIVY at Heathrow When a situation is bad, you have to make the best of it. When the only photographs you can take are, by the usual criteria, bad, those are what you have to take. Perhaps posterity will look kindly on the thought. There were four B747-400s in BA Maintenance, officially withdrawn from service, of course. They were G-CIVY, G-CIVK, G-CIVB (in Negus) and G-CIVP. The BA B747-400 has been a part of my working and travelling lives and I contend to this very hour that the sight of one in the turn on a SID is unsurpassed in aviation. It was and is a beautiful aircraft. 200_4_P1000506R

Shortly before the final leg of our latest vacation, I was able to get a passable contre-jour shot of the aircraft which would bring us home, BA B747-400 G-CIVY operating BAW206 MIA-LHR. With the type now facing withdrawal, I don't know how many more -400 flights I shall be on and again invite contributions to my group 'Farewell to the BA B747-400'. 200_P1010819C
