British Airways’ final retro livery aircraft (Negus) is about to leave the paint shop

Share

On 21 March, the final British Airways retro livery aircraft will be leaving the paint shop at Dublin Airport. The Boeing 747-400 (G-CIVB) in Negus design is the final in a series of four heritage liveries being painted as part of British Airways’ centenary celebrations – a British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) liveried Boeing 747, a British European Airways (BEA) Airbus 319 and a British Airways Landor 747 are already in the skies.

Tomorrow, the 747 will leave Dublin Airport at 09:30 (UTC) and is expected at London Heathrow around 10:55.

Looks like Dave Wallsworth, a famous twitter captain, will be flying the aircraft.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
