Heathrow Aircraft - past and present.
United Kingdom
Registrace 18. 10. 2011
Hi welcome to my “Heathrow Aircraft - past and present” channel. I’ve added the “past and present” title back again reflecting the content of my channel which is about showcasing past and present aircraft - mostly but not exclusively Heathrow. You will find plenty of new uploads plus an archive of films capturing aircraft that have now left us.
With more than 200 films; mostly in 4K - and often with Air Traffic Comms, you’ll find possibly the biggest archive of BA 747 material collected since 2018 including the final departures of 10 of the fleet.
Concorde;
Virgin’s last A340s and 747s;
The last 5 of the BA 767 fleet;
The #BA100 retro livery 747s both in service and since preservation
And much more!

BRITISH AIRWAYS BEA RETRO LIVERY A319 RETURNS TO SERVICE! G-EUPJ. First Euro flight. 13 June 2024.
Here's a very welcome return to Heathrow. After entering storage in Madrid in November 2022, it was feared the #BA100 Airbus A319, G-EUPJ, in BEA retro livery, would never fly again. But yesterday the aircraft flew from Madrid to Heathrow, before operating a domestic Glasgow evening shuttle service last night; returning to Heathrow this morning, to then operate the first Euro flight, BA 528 to Lisbon - filmed here, departing on Runway 27 Right.
The BEA retro livery was one of 4 special liveried British Airways aircraft re-painted in February / March 2019 to mark the 100th anniversary of the formation of the first airline.
Sadly the remaining 3 retro liveried aircraft, all Boeing 747s, were withdrawn from service in June 2020 during the COVID pandemic, along with the entire BA 747 fleet. 2 of the 3 remain in preservation - G-BNLY in Landor livery, is at Dunsfold Aerodrome- (earmarked to be re-developed for housing - so a potentially uncertain future) and G-CIVB in Negus livery, which is open for viewing at Kemble Cotswold. Sadly the 3rd, G-BYGC in BOAC retro livery was scrapped at St Athan in August 2023. All of these aircraft (and indeed the entire BA 747 fleet) were extensively filmed by me and can be seen on this channel.
Enjoy! Best wishes, Steve

@FABplanes. I do tend to agree with you! ✈️
What did they do with the plane after?
@gmont28 it flew to St Athan wales for break up. Here is footage from my channel of another of the fleet at St Athan having the same breakup process. Any parts that can be recycled are recycled…..czcams.com/video/f2r4yD3u6gE/video.htmlsi=ZcL3WmCEcFnxtD_U
Disappointed. She deserves more . Clearly, British Airways has no respect ! Destroying the Queen of the Sky! Unbelievable!
@istvanmecsefalvy253 Yes agreed!
It is good to see her back. I flew her to Madrid (as captain) from Heathrow gate 522 in November 2022. I took a picture of her at LHR, then another from the window while in the departure lounge at Madrid on a remote stand. The really thought that would be her last flight. I have since moved onto the A350 😊
@rsambrook Hi Hywel; yes I think we all thought that was the end for this one! Quite a milestone that you flew the last flight before storage! Congrats on moving to the A350 fleet! All the best Steve
Cheapskates! Where are the red wing panels then? So close, but no cigar.
@laszlofyre845 🤣 apparently it’s a health and safety thing that it couldn’t have red wings. Don’t know the full detail. 🚬
Icelandair: you're fired!🤬🤬 Ryanair: you're hired😀😀😀 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@pamelajoycedalayoan3643 🤣👏👏👏
I know it is my age, but that aircraft is just WRONG! It ought to have had propellors!
@roboftherock 🤣 I do know what you mean. Like you I remember the “true” a/c wearing that livery; like the Vanguard 👏
@@HeathrowAircraft If my memory is not faaulty I only had one flight in a Vanguard, the rest were all Viscounts. That was from Renfrew to Heathrow, so that'll take you back.
@roboftherock That does take me back! My earliest Viscount flight was with Cambrian Airways from Liverpool! Wish I had photos from those days!
@@HeathrowAircraft It might be my bleary old eyes, but there seems to be a bit of a Vanguard nose on the 319. Is that just me? Cambrian - was that when BEA 'regionalised its fleet. I recall Scottish Airways.
@roboftherock yes that nose is quite reminiscent of the Vanguard isn’t it - and to me, the 737-100/200 like in the Lufthansa livery of the 1970s/80s! Yes Cambrian were independent but were merged into BEA in 1972 and disappearing altogether after the BEA/BOAC merger. …
I have a peice of the airframe from G-CIVL on my keyring. Bless her heart 😢
@smiledsteelydan - Good you’ve got a piece from her. I did the same with G-CIVY 😢
Every airline shoukd have a retro kicking about its fleet. 😊
@alzyerpal-TV yes definitely! 👍
Be nice of BA had a full range of retro liveries on their fleet.
@castlegate2015 wouldn’t it just…Good call!
Happy memories ........ flew on a lot of Viscounts, Vanguards and Tridents, Aberdeen to London route many times sporting this livery back in the 60s and 70s!!!!!
@user-jg2nq6114c Great memories. It summed up all that was good about the British aircraft fleet of the time didn’t it? Do you have any photos from those days?
Was the paint refreshed in Madrid too ? It looks very good for an aircraft baking in the hot Spanish sunshine this past year or so.
@alzyerpal-TV I think you must be right- I saw an aerial photo of it from its time in that heat and it looked decidedly scorched and grubby. Looking good now - just hope we can enjoy it for a little while before, like a lot of the G-EUP series a319s already; it is sent to the breakers at St Athan!
I like retro schemes, but just don't bring back those horrible "ethnic" tails that BA once had.
@MervynPartin I think they were Marmite weren’t they - love them or hate them. I quite liked them thinking back ….they were certainly an original idea!
Liked them myself, a bit of variety at our airports and things to look out for on your travels.
@alzyerpal-TV yes they stood out didn’t they!
@alzyerpal-TV Yes - and trying to spot the rarer ones was always a challenge!
They should use the Landor livery on the A380.
@Avgeek1564 That would look amazing!
Nice capturing 😍
@PLANEMANIA747 Hi thanks a lot! I enjoyed going back to Heathrow
No point without the iconic red upper wing surfaces.
@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 Good point. Those wings did look the part on the original scheme on the tridents, 1-11s, viscounts and vanguards didn’t they!
Seeing the BEA logo, really takes be back to my childhood and great to see it flying the skies again.
@groovydonkey Me too. Really takes me back to childhood spotting days….
😩🤬
@jacksonhunter5190 I know…😢
Very Sad End to all the 747s 🥵
@jacksonhunter5190 the end of an era that’s for sure….
Wow. Im pretending propellers and imagining a vanguard.
@brianwillson9567 now that takes me back!
Brilliant. Be nice to see a 777 in B.O.A.C livery as they did on 747 before they were scrapped
@mickboakes7023 Hi Mick that would be something to see wouldn’t it?! I’d be quite happy even for just a 777 in Landor; as they first flew in Landor didn’t they…..
@@HeathrowAircraft I think that every airline should have at least one aircraft in their fleet in retro colours. Trouble is I’m old enough to remember them when they were current. All the best. Mick
@mickboakes7023 Yes me too Mick 😂 Best wishes steve
This is confusing. So which is older, BOAC or BEA ?
@verifiedtoxicangel2411 They were separate airlines until they were merged in April 1974 into British Airways. (I remember it!! 😱) BOAC was founded in 1939. BEA was formed in 1946!
@@HeathrowAircraft thanks for the info. So why is BEA brought back if it was already renamed British Airways?
@@verifiedtoxicangel2411 It was to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of BA and its predecessors. So they brought out 4 aircraft in different historic liveries in 2019 as part of the celebrations. 3 of the 4 were 747s and COVID put paid to all the 747 fleet so they were withdrawn in June 2020. That just left the little BEA Airbus which flew until Nov 2022 and was then put into storage in Spain. We all thought it was destined for the scrap as it’s 24 years old. But they’ve brought it back - hence this film! We should make the most of it as I’m sure it won’t be around for very long. A lot of the G-EUP Airbus series in the BA fleet have already been scrapped…..
I wish the BEA Speedjack had been represented. The BEA red square is rather dull.
@timfly767 Hi Tim yes that was a very iconic livery wasn’t it. I remember it well from my childhood spotting days….
@@HeathrowAircraft Indeed. I can't believe I was crew for over 40 years. It feels like it all happened to someone else, but they were very very happy days without a doubt.
@@timfly767 I left BA in 1995 but that still seems like yesterday. Good times!
It should have had red wings but I read that would have reduced the wing's ability to keep cool.
@chrisst8922 yes there was something Health and Safety about why it couldn’t be red wasn’t there. I forget what now but will try to rack my brains!
Against current regulations regarding painted wings apparently.
@@alzyerpal-TV ah ok yes I remember something about that!! Thanks for sharing.
So good to see this little beauty flying again. If it wasn't for all the Airbus delivery delays she would be scrap so we are blessed to see her again. Flew on her many times in her younger days.
@brianrjclarke Hi Brian - that’s really interesting re the Airbus delivery delays-and explains totally why they’ve brought a 24 year old frame out from storage. But it’s our gain isn’t it - lovely to see that livery again!!
It is good to see it again, though I don’t think it’s quite as stylish as the old Alitalia livery.
@elaineblackhurst1509 Hi Elaine - good point - the Italian sense of style and panache may just have the edge!
The more planes change the more they stay the same.Looks like an early Boeing 737 in that livery.!.No faster than jets in the BEA era pre 1974.
@barryvincentredmond3973 Actually you’re right now you say it. It does have a 737-100 or 200 look doesn’t it especially around the nose!
No faster but a hell of a lot quieter and fuel-efficient.
@@GRAHAMAUSvery true!!
The Aer Lingus retro scheme on their A320 also looks gorgeous.
@chriscrook4481 yes it does I really like that one too.
The livery suits it so well, reminds me of my trips to The Queen's Building to see Viscounts and Vanguards . . . . . .would love to see it on a A321-NEO ?
@johngraver2828 Yes it brings back good memories doesn’t it? A great livery - but the lifespan of this aircraft can’t be that much longer - it’s 24 years old. A lot of the G-EUP series A319s have already been scrapped. Wish they’d chosen a new model to paint in this livery instead, 4 years ago; as you say like one of the NEOs…..
Good to see her in use. Maybe she should be preserved somewhere that cares to make up for the crime that befell upon the BOAC liveried 747.
@BigPaul62 absolutely yes. With hindsight it was never a good fit to send a fully functioning 747 to a breakers yard was it 😱 we should have seen it coming …..
It would be so nice to see some BA planes back in BOAC colours
@user-nx7qq4qgb Yes I agree. Or The Landor would look good on a 777 or Airbus A320 too!
My dad was a frequent flyer between London and Dublin in the 60s, so the sight of the BEA livery always excites me.
@t.p.mckenna I know what you mean. I felt the same with the BOAC livery - reminded me of childhood days at LHR watching the 707s, VC10s of BOAC taking off. Good memories as I’m sure the BEA livery is for you!
shame how g-bygk got scrapped
@victorjoachimmoscoso6327 Yes - it really is ☹️
Great Catch , Nice to G-EUPJ back in service
@vc10aviation thanks a lot! Good to see it isn’t it?! 👏

BA shouldn’t have removed the other retro imo, but great to see this one back where it should be.
@colinboneham7387 absolutely yes!! 🙌
I think they should repaint some of the A319 in the retro liveries to complete it
@@krishanprasad20Yes - they’ve got the One World livery on some A320s; plus the G-TTNA in that weird blue livery (not keen on that one myself!) but they would look good with a Landor scheme -like the first generation of A320s were in (G-BUSA/B/C etc.)
Poor old plane. Loved BOAC, and the 747. To lose two in one go is awful. Bastards!

😢goodbye concord I’ve had many years with you
@user-wz6zk5no2f 😢
I can understand flying airliners to Kemble to scrap them, I can't understand why any one would store them there ie: The 727 in our damp climate, It's surely best to store an aircraft in like Spain or the Mojave desert in the USA where corrosion would not be an issue?
@scotty6346 Yes I agree - very odd!
30 years later: we need to retire the 747-400 due to its poor fuel economy, pollution, high maintenance costs, tired cabin, out-dated technology and excessive noise. I imagine we'll be saying the same thing about the A380, A350, 787 and 777x in 30 years too.
@dwilliams6346 yes I’m sure you’re absolutely right!
