The Big Changeover, in the warm Autumn afternoon light, G-AWNH still in original BOAC Speedbird colours, behind G-AWNN the first 747 delivered from Boeing in British Airways colours and across the tarmac another jumbo with the interim scheme , Blue Fin/Speedbird but British Airways on the nose. The BOAC book by Charles Woodley is invaluable for BOAC and BA info.
