A last look at a 757


A last look at a 757, originally uploaded by ccgd.

Boarding a BA 757 at Heathrow, almost certainly for the last time - they are selling almost all of their fleet.

Heathrow - Madrid BTW.

Back in the 90's I was on BA 757's almost all the time, I was in Brussels or Paris monthly - 757's - and Glasgow/Edinburgh shuttles used them as well. But now they look and feel old, compared to BA's Airbus fleet, so I suppose its time for them to go.

The pane was pretty empty as well - which says a lot about BA's fortunes, aviation generally, and having a big 757 on a thinner route.
