Gosh, how the world has changed. 748s used to be common as muck at regional airports.

You know you're getting on in years when younger forum members don't recognize a 748!!

They were the 'regional jet' of their day, ten a penny wherever you looked. Glasgow Airport used to be full of BA and Dan Air examples back in the 70's and 80's...
Incidentally, didn't Charles and Di head off on honeymoon in a Queen's Flight 748 after their wedding ? And isn't the Andover a slightly longer version with a Hercules style diagonally sloping rear fuselage with a cargo ramp ?

And a 'kneeling' undercarriage IIRC

Yes the Andover was slightly longer, and also the rear bogies could be lowered so that it 'knelt' to allow a lower loading deck level.

Here's a nice looking one, also a BA 'Budgie' at Glasgow back in the good old days.
