I flew MIA-LHR last night on the Negus 747 and I have also flown on the BOAC livery to PHL.
Has anyone flown on all of the Heritage liveries?

For nostalgia minded avgeeks like me, at Duxford (M11 about 20 miles north of Stansted) there are a number of Viscounts, Vanguards, Tridents, VC10 in various BEA, BOAC and BA liveries. They were working on the VC10 a couple of weeks ago so we got to see inside. The cockpit was most interesting, particularly the flight engineers “desk” . I had forgotten how much has changed compared with the current flight deck. My OH was more impressed by how comfortable and roomy the seating was even in the back! But back to the original thread I have seen the 747’s but not flown on them and the BEA has avoided me.
None sadly but was lucky enough to see the BOAC and Landor at LHR in May within 20 minutes of each other and the BEA at INV - just the Negus to see the lot.
I've flown all the 747s in the standard livery, but only BOAC in the heritage livery. Had a last minute aircraft swap off the (TXL-LHR) BEA and (LHR-YVR) Negus ones, which was very annoying.
