The last flight of Boeing 747-400 G-VBIG, aka “Tinker Belle” was a short hop from London Gatwick to St. Athan (DGX) in South Wales. As well as being home to an Aston Martin factory, the quaint little Vale of Glamorgan town of St. Athan also hosts eCube Solutions, an aircraft ‘recycling’ specialist that sees off around 60 ‘end-of-life’ aircraft every year. The former RAF station there boasts one 6,000 foot runway – barely long enough to land a 747, but short enough to ensure that once on the ground it will never take off again.
Over the years, Virgin Atlantic has operated a total of 29 different Boeing 747 variants and at the start of this year had just eight 747-400s left in its fleet. Last month however, the COVID shutdown forced the company to accelerate the scheduled 2021 retirement of its remaining ‘Jumbos’ and grounded the remaining seven. Lamentably, the same thing is happening at a slew of 747 operators around the world as the ‘Queen of the Skies’ – along with the A380 which in 2005 stole “the biggest” crown – looks to be headed for the history books in the not too dim and distant.
