BOAB - at LHR |
Lead | |
|
I went up to LHR yesterday to watch some aircraft come and go. Where is AB now? Any news on her new destination yet?

She is round in the ground run pen (De-tuners). Apparently the local cops objected her going back in front of TBA South Pen.

You can see the tail sticking up over the fence if you are near the old level crossing at the end of the northern runway

Gordon, was that an anti-photographer measure? :-(

Think the cops are more worried about accidents from rubber necking.
BA do keep the aircraft looking great. |

If you want a look at ABs front ens you can head towards where she is stting and you will come to the Grass Bank there is a Road Besdie the Banking between
the Banking and the White Huts.
You can pull in there for a short While and See the front end Sticking out from the Engine Test Cell,Do not hang around long in that area as MR Plod and the BAA will appear after a bit on a normal Patrol and Shoo you out of the Area. |
