There used to be a regular 747 charter flight from Bournemouth (to NYC, possibly?), I was always told that Bournemouth was pretty tight for a fully loaded 747 take-off, but not sure if that was true or not.If you were allowed out to go and have a look!

What's the shelf life of the Jet A1 in the tanks? Do they purge them? Are they vented to atmosphere? They must be sealed in flight, otherwise the fuel would be sucked out by the changes in pressure in the climb, but are they vented when they fill them up on the ground to prevent blowback?
Definitely vented on the ground - sometimes you can see fuel being expelled from the vent... Be interested on the flight question.Actually I would be interested in general how grounded the planes are. Is it just whip the covers off, or have they been more intensively grounded...

I had forgotten just how smart the Landor livery looks! Like a crisp well-cut suit. Old money, but the sort of old money that owns half of Wiltshire.alangla said:
Looks like BA are now storing jumbos at Teruel in Spain. 5 arrived today plus an A320, though I guess the A320 could be a taxi to take the crews back to the UK. Seems to be various Ukranian aircraft there already.
I worked 3 of them out. Went up like homesick angels straight to FL390.hutchst said:
Did one of them take it over as cabin baggage, or did they make them check it in?

Looks like a few BA A380s are heading for Chateauroux in France just now, with the BEA liveried A319 as the taxi back.
Did one of them take it over as cabin baggage, or did they make them check it in?Many people saying that not all of them will come back.

Economics and all that, however what a shame.
