RegNo: | G-BNLL | Photographer: | Andreas Fotopoulos |
C/N: | 24054 | More info: | Contact photographer |
Remarks: | The airplane was taxiing for take off when it missed a turn and enter a wrong narrow taxiway. Its left wing collided with a building slicing off its roof and damaging the outer part of the wingtip. As BA had already started phasing out the older -400s, it was decided not to be repaired. It is seen on Safair premises being salvaged for spare parts. |
