20-137 British Airways Boeing 747-400 G-BLNY
Taken 06/04/20 during the Coronaviris/Covid-19 lock down when British Airways stored surplus planes at Bournemouth Airport.
I took this whilst out on one of my daily exercise outing during the lock down, a cycle out to Hurn and to take this I had to poke my camera through the chain link fencing, hence the odd framing!
Planes aren't really my thing, but having identified this as a Boeing 747 over to Wikipedia "... the Boeing 747 is a large wide-body airliner and cargo aircraft manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes in the United States. After introducing the 707 in October 1958, Pan Am wanted a jet 2½ times its size, to reduce its seat cost by 30% to democratize air travel. ... [in] 1968, the first 747 was rolled out of the custom-built Everett Plant, ... the first flight took place on February 9, 1969 and the 747 was certified in December of that year. It entered service with Pan Am on January 22, 1970, the 747 was the first plane dubbed a "Jumbo Jet". ... the heavier 747-400 with improved engines and a two-crew glass cockpit, was introduced in 1989 and is the most common variant."
