BA B747 NO MORE
CANUCKLAD
Well, another victim of the Covid disaster. And, more poignantly, it seems that with British Airways retiring its B747 fleet with immediate effect, we’ll be denied an opportunity to experience for one last time the “Queen of the Skies”. If memory serves, my last flight was on a BA B747 heading back to Vancouver; then again, it could have been on a Cathay Pacific flight to Bangkok, or possibly a KLM flight to Hong Kong. It reminds me what a privileged and lucky life I’ve had, considering the majority of the planet’s population hasn’t flown, never mind on the magnificent 747.

My first trip on a B747 was at the age of
17. My mum made me wear my three-piece suit, shirt and tie, in economy! But what an experience and I loved the numerous trips that followed. Yes, we need to reduce carbon and cost but we will never create such nostalgia again.
