At the start of 2020, British Airways announced the early retirement of their Boeing 747 fleet due to the downtime caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.
A year prior to this sad announcement, British Airways had re-painted three of their iconic aircraft into the heritage liveries of BOAC, Landor and Negus, celebrating 100 years of the airline.
After 6 weeks of negotiations, it was announced that G-CIVB, the Negus livery B747, rather than being scrapped was to have a permanent home here at Cotswold Airport.
Negus arrived here at Cotswold Airport in October 2020, to a warm welcome from crowds of aviation enthusiasts.
We enjoy the company of a former pilot and cabin crew giving an insight on working aboard these iconic aircraft plus enjoying a cream tea in the AV8 cafe after the visit.
PLEASE NOTE STAIRS ACCESS THE AIRCRAFT AND NO LIFT IS AVAILABLE. PLEASE ENSURE YOU ARE ABLE TO CLIMB A FLIGHT OF STAIRS TO ACCESS THE AIRCRAFT
