G'day! A very different sort of video today but one I hope you enjoy! The delay on getting this out was due to issues obtaining the correct license to use the retro BOAC footage and of course getting back to Australia to actually edit this together! Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy!
Thank you!
Wow, wow, wow! I grew up on this BOAC livery as a tot and onto the 70s, and I still find it my favorite, even by today's standards! What amazing footage you have, however did you achieve it? Thanks and Bravo to you. :)
It’s a stunning plane, nice to see British Airways paying tribute to its heritage, as I always say.
“ You don’t know where you’re going unless you know where you’ve been”
Stunning indeed and you're right about their heritage!
It truly is stunning, that plane is amazing.
It can't get more british than that, drizzle, the Tube, BOAC 747 with the majestic speedbird on its tail. I love this video so much, great job
There was an old joke that BOAC stood for "Bring Over American Cash".
Also “Boeing Only Aircraft Corporation”
Lmao😂😂
The Coolest Commercial Jet To Ever Take To The Skies!
747:)
Ever heard of Concorde? Don't get me wrong, the 747 is very nice but to call it the coolest aircraft? Surely that title goes to the only profitable passenger plane to fly at mach 2
I love when airlines have these retro liveries and pay tribute to their heritage. I only wish I could’ve flown on one of those original 747-100s. I’ll be flying to London in a few months and hopefully I get a chance to travel on this beautiful plane!
As someone who grew up in the shadow of the Boeing Plant - Paine Field and who was at the inauguration of the 747 in 1969 can't thank you enough for posting this.
that aircraft is stunning, sad I wasn't able to see it land
With a retirement of around 2023/2024 you should have plenty of time to not only see BOAC in the flesh but also eventually all the over retro liveries by British Airways.
@@DjsAviation oh really? cool thanks Dj!
No worries :) Landor on the Boeing 747 is apparently the next retro livery, it's currently in the paint shop.
@@DjsAviation Nice! thanks dj! quick question, would you think BA would buy the 747-8?
No chance sadly. They've got the 777-9s and the A350-1000s coming in to replace their current 747s.
That is the most magnificent Boeing 747 ever seen.
She is so beautiful. Wish there was no end to this video
What a remarkable experience! I spent two decades in aircraft hangars at airports and have been away for 7 years now. I miss the noise and hubbub of busy airports! That was a huge honor to get to be there for this beautiful bird's arrival. I remember as a kid seeing the BOAC Super VC10s in Rio, in Brazil. I always hated to leave the airport and remember trying, when I was about 4 or so, to stick myself to the glass so my dad couldn't make me leave! Great memories! Great livery! Great tribute to the lore of yesterday! Thanks for this video.
I hope Air NZ do a few retro paint schemes on their aircraft. A A321neo in the delivery TEAL DC-8 scheme with the dark blue southern cross tail or a 777 in the DC-10 scheme would look great.
G'day Dj, Thank you! What a blast from the past. This takes me back to my first trip to London, even the rain is the same! There was always something special about BOAC. When they started flying the 747 they were still stinging from the tragedy that was The Comet. Had that not happened BOAC would have dominated the trans-Atlantic and world wide routes. Yet, the strength of the company and its wonderful staff quickly regained world wide confidence even if it was with an American aircraft.
It's difficult to remember after all these years but I flew with BOAC at least twice and I do recall excellent service and totally unflappable, friendly professionalism. Hard to believe these days but people, like me, used to save up to fly... fly anywhere! The destination was unimportant the real thrill was the enjoyment of the trip.
This is one of the best videos you've done, in terms of nostalgia and very well put together. One likes to think that they kitted out the interior in period fittings but, realistically, that would have cost a fortune. The exterior paint job is stunning. I wish I could have seen it in the 'flesh'; I could have looked at it for an hour or more. Thanks, mate. Outstanding effort! Cheers, BH
I got a chance to see the BOAC livery plane fly over the LA basin, heading to LAX last week. I'm pretty sure I, as well as plane fans, will be seeing that plane with that livery fly over for another few years, as the Boeing 747 heads off to retirement.
Wow DJ's Aviation, what a great privilege for you to go inside the hangar to film the massive and beautiful aircraft. Save and preserve this film.
I LOVE the classic 747's Especially in Retro Liveries
Awesome video. Recommend the book "747" written by Chief Engineer Joe Sutter who recently passed away. Juan Trippe of Pan Am was the finicky launch customer for this enormously successful aircraft that almost did not get built.
Thanks for watching and the recommendation Martin. I've read a whole lot on the Incredibles and Joe Sutter, very interesting and amazing story
Widebody: The Triumph of the 747 by Clive Irving is also a great book to read.
Absolutely love the look of the 747 my favorite passenger plane to view. Thanks for the archive footage it makes the 747 400 retro jet more meaningful. I just saw the A319 BEA retro jet video today as well. I hope QF does something similar for their own 100 years on top of the 2 Retro Roos 737.
It's a stunner!
Very nice video, Dj. How can anyone put on a dislike on this?? Straight to the top of the 747 best livery list. And she will be like that until the end too.
Couple of little historical inaccuracies but who cares when you see that beast? Suddenly makes me feel old remembering the 747-100s arriving new....
She is one pretty lady. Once again Dj another great production. Greetings from Chicago.
Great video brought back memories of my flights from Heathrow to Teheran in the sixties and seventies.
Gorgeous livery
One of the slickest planes in the sky!
Great footage and thanks. Yes i was one of the thousands ton the terraces, the day the BOAC 747 did its maiden flight into Manchester, all those years ago. Brings a tear to my eyes
I clearly remember a seeing BOAC VC-10 on the tarmac at Barbados in 1967.
Hey DJ! we was practically next to each other, I was just the other side of the hanger, watching the "queen of the skies" land and taxied to BA engineering
Great video and I get immensely proud being British lol what beautiful aircraft she is all these years later . Superb stuff and thanks
I can't wait for the Landor livery. That is so iconic for me from my childhood.
A majestic sight! Thanks so much for posting this DJ.
What a stunning video. I loved every second of it, keep up the great work!! ❤️
I flew on a BOAC VC10 WAAAAAAAAAAAYYY back in the day. YES I'm that old....LOL Thanks for taking time to record such a momentous occasion. Cheers from Edmonton Canada
What a beautiful bird 😍 so happy to see they brought it back and paid homage to their roots
Thank you for sharing this beautiful footage! Cheers!
Man. This was just speechless ..i just loved this video and the various shots you took of the planes... Just amazing.
Thank you so much :) Glad you enjoyed it!
Very Nice!!! 👍
Sweet !! 👌👍✈ Thanks for sharing your experience
Pleasure! Thanks for making it all possible
Stunning..... That's all i can say
Great video. Brings back memories of my spotting days in the early 70's.🙂
DJ ... BOAC also flew the VC-10 which was a super quiet aircraft during flight as engines were mounted on the tail. Fast too. Flew on it several times ORD/LHR/ ORD. First Class service was extraordinary. Also flew on the BOAC 747 many times as well. Thanks for the memories. 👍🏻. I hope to fly on the BOAC 747 soon ... just to indulge in memories
The VC-10, such a beautiful Aircraft
Great video Dj! The 747 in that livery is just gorgeous!
Amazing, Thank You!
Nice one!
Thank you :)
@@DjsAviation Anytime mate anytime
She looks Lovely!Top job Dj👍
That must have felt very humbling, good job man! What a lovely paint job!
Superb!, simply superb!!
As a child, I visited Heathrow in 1965 and came home with a ton of BOAC and BEA stuff. If only I'd kept it....
Great video! The BOAC livery delivered a corporate identity but at the same time looks so much more elegant that any modern livery in my opinion. Top work DJ really enjoy your channel
*_Beautiful_*
Absolutely amazing editing! What a great video!
6:27 National Anthem of UK
didn't even know this was coming, looks amazing !
2:56 She looks a little different from the 747-100 of my childhood - longer upper deck, winglets, etc. - but the first sight of the BOAC livery aloft took my breath away, reminding me of my first trip in a 747, to London, of course. Thanks for the history and the beautifully British footage, complete with drizzle and an umbrella. Greetings from San Francisco.
What a beautiful sight it must have been for you.
Now that is an airline who knows where they have been and where they are going
Very stunning DJ! Very stunning indeed! I'm sad it's gonna be gone by 2023/ 2024:(
Wow just wow
I was in London the day it arrived and I saw it flying overhead. It was amazing to see even from below in central London
Holy Frevels!!! This aiplane is simply amazing
Now that is an airplane
Very cool! Looking forward to hopefully seeing BA bring this aircraft to YVR. Awesome video!
I hope to see a KLM B777 or A330 who comes out of the 5-6 year major maintenance will be painted in the KLM livery from 1919 as a 100 year tribute.
Imagine that BA Boac livery near the KLM 100 years ago livery on anny airport!
Awesome 👍✈️
BOAC just looks right.
Awesome sight.
There's nothing like a 747, it will be a sad day for me when they retire them.
Live your videos Dj
747th like!
Lovely! Nice to see the old speedbird again. I still think this livery looked the best on VC10s. I wonder if BA are going to paint any planes in BEA livery? That would look good on an Embraer or A319.
Excellent video DJ
Very well shot and edited. I hope you do the other retro liveries. 👍
Thank you Guenther, unfortunately, I am currently based in Australia and was only over in London for a break. It happened to be also when the BOAC was due in so this will be my only airside coverage of the retro liveries. I hope though this is a taster of whats to comes.
Good job. 🛬🛫👍
Great video dj 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you
Very cool DJ and nice to see. The first 747 I ever saw was when I was 10 and it was a BOAC 747-100. The first one I flew on was 4 years later - Air France 747-100.
Great video. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wow, that's amazing. So that's why you were in London, how did you even get invited to that? One thing I must say is though, this shows just how dedicated people are to the 747. There have just been so many ceremonious separations from fleets for this aircraft that it shows that most airlines must absolutely not want an additional quad jets in their fleet to turn down the -8, and we know that BA could use it. Its a sheer contrast to the recent retirements of A380's that we've seen and outlines just how unsuccessful that aircraft really is. And for BA to do all this on a plane they know will only last another 5 years at best? That says something.
Great editing with very clear camera work. Sorry about the English weather!
Great video. The BOAC livery is good looking. The first time I remember seeing it was on a VC-10 in an Elizabeth Taylor movie from the 60's. It also looked great on the VC-10--which was also a great looking plane. I hope BA does a BCal livery eventually.
nice mate...good work...
What an amazing plane. I’m going to either ORD or DEN next month, hoping to get a chance to see it!
Fantastic video congratulations
dear Friend love it. Really enjoyed. Thumbs up.
Saw this fly in to Chicago! (I live right by the Airport)
As a thanks to the shoutout. I’ll draw a 747 with your livery
Its gorous...
In true BOAC tradition, too bad there are no more seaplanes flying. There are a few small charters here and there but back in the day, seaplanes were dominant. British Overseas Airways Corporation. Nothing like a Boeing 314 clipper.
spliceon charlie it’s a shame that none of the 314s or princesses survived.
Nice British rainy welcome. 'Better On A Camel'
I work for British airways and I still haven’t seen this beautiful aircraft, I’ve seen UPJ an A319 in the BAE colours
This was great.. do a video of the vistara retro jet as well..they even got the old tail number for the A320 neo.. VT-ATV
Noice!
Could you please so live streams more often? Thanks.
I’m going to miss when all boing 747 are taking out of service I wanna start up a go fund me for all 747s
Muito bacana 🍻
I wish these sorts of Videos weren't always filled with Hanz Zimmer music.
I live on the flightpath of LHR and I have yet to seen it fly over my house
Looks beautiful how long is the design staying on it, is it permanently or for limited time?
Thanks for the great video. Impressive plane! Like your choice of camera brand. As a professional photographer, who also worked retail and wholesale in the photographic industry, with Nikon, being one of those companies who hired me.
i live on the heathrow flightpath and i saw it fly past two days ago
Great video, bit of nostalgia. Wonder why the bloke got the umbrella at the top of the boarding steps 😎
Not showed on the edit, but this was just before Captain & First Officer posed for photos in typical English rain
BOAC had one of the nicest livery’s in the air, I hope BA changes there look soon cause they look very dated.
I still like the current British Airways livery, but thanks for your input!
The Speedbird in the tail is just one of the most iconic liveries ever IMO...
Nothing wrong with the current BA livery. Don't think it needs to be changed at all.
Too short. Please make a longer one.
Was at JFK yesterday and hoping to see it there. Sadly, three BA 747s in the standard livery. Maybe next time.
Should have a lot of time to see it :)
Hey DJ it's ya Boi who's mum worked for jetgo new airline coming out soon but charters at the moment compass jet
What language is that?
