airsLLides No. 8345: G-AWNB, Boeing 747-136, British Airways, Miami-International, November 20, 1992

Dark skies again: G-AWNB was the second Boeing 747 delivered to BA's predecessor BOAC British Overseas Airways Corporation. Put into service in May 1970, it joined BA through the 1974 merger of BOAC and BEA British European Airways. She continued to serve the British flag carrier until her retirement in November 1998. Sent to Roswell, TX, for storage, she was sold for parts and broken up the following year.
