The upper deck of BYGA has been saved and the project is now raising funds for the move to Manchester.

Motorists from Gloucester and Worcester are set for a once-in-a-lifetime treat on the morning of August 11, when the top deck of a Boeing 747, which was used for commercial flying, is set to make its final journey past on the M5 to its new home in Manchester.

I wonder if something is being filmed around this - https://aviation-safety.net/database...?id=19880405-0 given the registration.
I've seen elsewhere that the paint is a special movie paint that can be easily washed off when filming is complete and it will be put back to how it was.

I think it's actually a pretty good effort with a fair bit of attention to detail, given some of the awful copies one sees in movies! The smooth cowlings are very odd, though - perhaps the originals had already been removed with the engines for a new home.

Interesting - a movie/TV show regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwait_Airways_Flight_422, perhaps?

Now have this at home. Rather poignant as it is one of the windows from seat 2A on G-BYGA, the very seat I was sitting in on the last BA 747 flight I took in First.
Thanks Aerotiques!
