This 744 was delivered to British Airways in November 1989 and is pictured taxying out to rw16 for departure home to Heathrow. The frame was withdrawn from the fleet in October 2014 and stored initially at Cardiff (CWL), before being ferried to Victorville (VCV) one month later.

Short final for 27L on a very mild winter's day.

Brymon European Airways was an airline formed in November 1992 by the merger of Birmingham European Airways and Brymon Airways. The merger was short-lived. In 1993, Brymon European was again split up. The Brymon operations were purchased by British Airways (Brymon) and the former Birmingham European operations were purchased by Maersk Air. This aircraft was r/o 18 Aug 94 in British Airways c/s (operated by Brymon). It finished up with the Birmingham Airport Fire Dept. in Dec 97.

G-AWNB was broken up in 1999 at Roswell, New Mexico.

Despite the fact that at this time EMA was a stronghold for turboprops with jets only being rare visitors, Qantas considered a service to Australia via LHR from East Midlands. The runway was marginal for the operation and the service did actually run from Manchester instead. I believe that this was the first visit of a 747 to EMA. Also visible are a Dan Air Viscount and Britannia Airways 737

VH-EBH was delivered in May 1974 and remained with Qantas until September 1990. It was sold to Virgin Atlantic as G-VJFK.

Retired by Qantas in September 1968
