Overview of all (to-be) preserved BA B747-400s

On 1 December, British Airways announced that they have found a home for the last two retro-liveried B747-400s. With this, the airline has now placed four B747-400s at several locations across the UK for preservation. Time for an overview!

  • G-BNLY, carrying the Landor-livery, will be flown from Cardiff to Dunsfold later this month and will be saved and displayed there.
  • G-BYGC, wearing the BOAC-livery, will make the short journey from Cardiff to St. Athan later this month and will be preserved by eCube Solutions, which is based at the airport.
  • G-CIVB, sporting the Negus-livery, was flown to Kemble on 8 October for preservation.
  • G-CIVW, painted in the current BA-livery, has been flown to Dunsfold on 22 October and will be on display there.

It's currently unknown if BA has plans to also preserve their BEA retro-liveried A319 G-EUPJ. This particular aircraft is twenty years old, but at this moment on active duty for the airline.
