British Airways retired the only two remaining Boeing 767s in their fleet yesterday (27th November 2018), flying them from London Heathrow Airport (LHR/EGLL) to MOD St Athan (EGDX) for scrapping. The first aircraft to arrive was G-BZHA as BAW767A (Speedbird 767A) at around 11:30am, followed by G-BZHB as BAW767B (Speedbird 767B) later in the afternoon at around 2:45pm.

The captain of the first 767 to land that day was making this very memorable flight his last, entering his retirement after this final flight on the 2nd last British Airways Boeing 767, G-BZHA.

As they shut down the aircraft's engines for the very last time, the captain passed a short message on the St Athan Tower ATC frequency announcing this was not only the last flight for this aircraft, but for him too. He also thanked the staff in the Control Tower for looking after his wife so she could watch her husband land for the very last time. The Air Traffic Controller then thanks for Captain and congratulates him on his retirement. Later that afternoon, the final BA Boeing 767 lands and they too say a few words on the frequency, saying it had been quite a journey. Clearly the crew had a special connection to this wonderful aircraft and it wasn't an easy flight to make, taking he planes they had spent years flying to the scrapyard.
