Thanks Dave

Looking at the condition she is in now it's hard to believe all what's gone on with the transporting and then storing in bits

A testimony to what can be done

Truly amazing :dance:

Nice shots Neil

I have to say it was a shock seeing you wearing a whistle yesterday. That must have hurt

I didn't realise the lady with the scarf was Tony's daughter though I did know the uniform was her's

Joe.. I have a few more shots but surprisingly for me, not that many. The majority were 'detail' shots for DM to add to the current Tri3 paints should he feel so moved.

Peter.. I took a couple of you sitting 'up front' and will mail them in case you feel like printing one for your den

This is her in the foreground in 1985 onboard G-AWZU. The rest of the crew are wearing the then-current BA uniform.

Thats correct Toby.The pic was taken before passengers boarded ZU for the return flight into LHR from Amsterdam.

Smashing shot Toby

No mistaking who is in the foreground despite the passage of a few years

'Fashion mode' :shock: That BEA badge on her hat really is a piece of art when seen at close quarters. Most impressive

I must say that it seems to me that you all had a very pleasant day. I wish I could have been there too, but alas.... Congratulations to all involved in this grand project.
