Economy Class bottom deck.


Lots off leg room up front.




No flower in the toilet another mark off for this Airline.


Todays film is 007 Casino Royale.




Back to my seat in First Class for the rest off the trip.

A big thank you to the owner off this plane for showing me around the first time all those years ago and telling me all the history.

Ah this aircraft was used in a James Bond film, also it lives on the same airfield where Top Gear is filmed

[sealalula]

Cool

[Singapore Sling]

Yes you are right FN-GM, it was in the James Bond film Casino Royale. But there are five reasons this plane is so famous, you have got two reasons and I will let you have number three, it was also on Come Fly With Me. A clue to the next one is this plane was used by BA.

Closing sequence of A Fish Called Wanda? (Tho' with the old F seats)

[Savage25]

It was towed on Top Gear, Fifth Gear, a VW Touareg ad and Scrapheap Challenge.

The registration is fictitious and reused in other Hollywood films.

[Singapore Sling]

You are right but the next two reasons this plane is so famous is nothing to do with TV or Film. All to do with when it was flying for BA.

[Singapore Sling]

Another clue for you all. The engines have changed from the first time I was on this plane.

Is it the plane that had all the engines fail when it flew through volcanic ash?

Is it the plane that had all the engines fail when it flew through volcanic ash?

That would be G-BDXH and this girl is G-BDXJ (at least it use to be).

[Singapore Sling]

Pinkfloyd won 1st place and FN-GM come 2nd. When you ask anyone about this plane around here they always tell you it is the one that flew through the volcanic ash, as Pinkfloyd points out that was G-BDXH and not G-BDXJ (which this plane was) It was a bit of a trick question.

I was close

Oh dam you with the trick question. I wouldn't have said that if it wasnt for the "Clue" . So what do i get for second prize

[Singapore Sling]

The fame and honour of comming 2nd to Pinkfloyd should be enough.

The Club World flat bed seats in the nose were installed for the BBC series Come Fly With Me. The aircraft never actually flew with those seats. When flying in BA's time, the nose would have been the First cabin, with the walnut First seats still installed on about half of BA's 4-class fleet.

The Club World cradle seats on the main deck and the Economy seats are the seats that flew.
