The 747 has been part icósole part of the British Airways fleet for almost fifty years.ños. In a moment, the airínea operó 57 of these planes, with the first jumbo jet flight to New York in 1971.

Of course, I thought that only 1 I wore the painting of One world.
In any case, the G-CIVD, was the icon of the 747 deBA
