Sorry about the long delay in posting these up.

G-BDXJ is now a resident at Dunsfold - it is here where she will be used for a bit of film work, then scrapped.

Dunsfold Park titles have been applied to one side of the aircraft and Air Atlanta titles dominate the other side.

Heres a few pics from that day of her, and a few others that may be of some interest to you?

More to follow asap. :)

Very nice. G-SHOG is a strange aeroplane!

Excellent shots, especially the 747 ones. Its a shame to see they're going to scrap it. There are airlines out there (i.e. Phuket Air) that could do with it.

Also, just noticed that the grotty little blue, white and red thing is Hungarian registered.

Excellent shots Andy. :)

Is Dunsfold where they shoot Top Gear? Remember seeing a 747 in the background on there the other week..

is Top Gear not shot at Bruntingthorpe, Leicestershire?

I know they have an ex-Olympic 747 (200 I think) that they were going to turn into a conference centre there, as well as a couple of other types.
