Speedbird Jumbo catches fire at Castellón

Parked at Castellón Airport, Spain, since April 2020, this British Airways Boeing 747 G-CIVD (msn 27349, and due for scrapping by eCubes) caught fire in the cockpit, but it is unclear how it started.

The Speedbird Queen of the Skies' fire was quickly put out by firefighters from Plana Alta, Baix Maestat and Plana Baixa, who attended with two units, and according to Aerocas sources, any other planes that were parked near the burning Jumbo Jet (in OneWorld colours) were removed for precautionary measures.

Technically it is not been broken up yet, so for now we will call it damaged, but this will certainly speed up the scrapping process.
