Visit BA’s ‘Landor’ Boeing 747 at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome on 26th June

British Airways may have retired its Boeing 747 fleet but, as we reported last year, a few aircraft will live on.

One of these is the ‘Landor’ Boeing 747, so-called because it features the historic livery designed by the Landor agency. This livery was used between 1984 and 1997. The aircraft, registration G-BNLY, was repainted as part of the ‘BA 100’ centenary celebrations.

Tour the ‘Landor’ on 26th June

The ‘Landor’ Boeing 747 is being given a new lease of life at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey.

On 26th June, you have your first chance to visit the aircraft.

To quote the website:

“We are please to offer you the first ever opportunity to get onboard and to photograph a British Airways 747 since retirement. Get up close and personal, explore the exterior in detail, roam around and get those up close photos that you can’t ever get of a commercial jet. Then get onboard and visit the cockpit, the various classes of cabin. Take all those photos, videos and selfies onboard the one and only Landor 747 BA100 anniversary jet.”

The site will be open between noon and 5pm and you can arrive whenever you want. There will be aviation-related stalls available and outdoor catering.

Children are welcome but under 12’s must be accompanied at all times. There is no charge for children under 10.

Tickets cost £25 per person and can be purchased here.

There is a more private evening event too

To cater primarily for those who wish to take photographs of the aircraft without other people being in the way, Dunsfold is running an evening event on the same day.

Running from 6pm to 10pm, it costs £40 per ticket. You will be allowed to tour the aircraft before the door are closed and the cabins cleared. You will then be able to take exterior shots as the sun goes down without any obstructions.

The event includes a barbeque – it isn’t clear is this is included in the price.

Tickets for the evening event can be found here.
