British Airways[edit]

The article says "British Airways has preserved five of its 747-400's following the fleet's retirement during the COVID-19 pandemic, although only four now remain". It then lists 4 preserved air frames but mentions the first one is (was?) scrapped. Does that man only 3 survive? Or that there is one missing from the detailed list and that 4 really survive (3 listed frames plus the unlisted frame) ? Stepho talk 05:58, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I took some time to look into this. The only other British Airways 474-400 that I could find that was preserved, is the G-BYGA that was partically preserved and converted into an event space and flight simulator known as 'The Deck'. I added the information about this into the article. KittyHawkFlyer (talk) 21:12, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It looks like G-BYGC was scrapped in August 2023 and the others preserved. Although I don't know if they have remained preserved. Stepho talk 01:21, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see anything in my research saying that the other are no longer preserved. KittyHawkFlyer (talk) 23:47, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
