BDXO accumulated 61,796 flying hours with British Airways between Apr 1987 and Oct 2001, after which it was stored at Cardiff, Mojave and then Manston. A sale to Air Atlanta Icelandic fell through and on 31 Oct 2003 the aircraft was flown to Amsterdam to be prepared for delivery to European Aircharter. It was painted in their colours, but never delivered. It remained stored at Schiphol, engineless as seen here. The aircraft was eventually broken up here in late 2005. Only the cockpit section survived, which went to the MBO College of Amsterdam Airport in nearby Hooddorp, for instructional use.
