The last-ever flight by a British Airways 747 landed at the Cotswold Airport in Kemble, UK on Thursday morning (October 8).

British Airways' last two Heathrow-based Boeing 747 planes made their final flights this morning, with one landing at St Athan near Cardiff Airport and the other landed at Cotswold Airport at around 10.30am.

Video shows the the G-CIVB model landing at Cotswold Airport this morning.

British Airways Boeing 747-400, G-CIVB (Negus Retro Livery) made its last ever landing at Kemble/Cotswold Airport today after humbly serving for the airline for over 26 years, making it the last ever British Airways 747 landing with none remaining in the fleet.

British Airways retired their last two Boeing 747 aircraft today, with G-CIVY heading to St Athan, Wales for scrapping, and G-CIVB heading to Kemble with rumours circulating that it may well be preserved at the airfield. Large crowds gathered to watch the Queen of the Skies arrive for the final time, however it was rather touch and go, with the aircraft holding for half an hour waiting for a gap in the weather. Had this break in the clouds come any later, the aircraft would've diverted to Cardiff, but thankfully the clouds parted and allowed G-CIVB to make her last ever landing. Due to the heavy rain all morning, the 747 kicked up a good amount of spray as it slowed down on runway 26. A particularly poignant moment occurred as a crew member can be seen waving the Union Jack out the roof hatch as the aircraft was towed off the runway.
