Today saw the very last British Airways flight of its iconic Boeing 747 “Queen of the Skies” as it made its final journey from Cardiff Airport to its new home at eCube Solutions in the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales, where it will be preserved to inspire future generations.

Wrapped in the BOAC retro ‘Gold Speedbird’ livery to mark British Airways’ centenary in 2019, the 747, registration G-BYGC, took to the air for the final time from British Airways’ engineering base at Cardiff Airport as flight BA747P, where it was waved off by engineers who for many years have proudly maintained the 747 fleet.
