Notes:
British Airways’ G-BIK_ series was the company’s 1st batch of Boeing 757s, starting deliveries with January 1983. First flight October 23 1985, delivered British Airways November 7 in the new Landor livery (1984-1997) as G-BIKU. First service November 13 1985 London-Heathrow to Milan (Linate). Seen here on taxi to 31L for take-off to Heathrow with the banner of the freshly introduced “Club Europe” business class on British Airways flights. September 29 1998 after push-back in London-Heathrow, the driver of the tug raised the cabin without ensuring that it was clear of the acft, striking the lower fuselage at the forward electrical bay, causing minor damage to the skin. Further interesting fact that this particular acft has never wore other livery than the Landor. Last passenger service October 27 2001 from Lisbon to London-Heathrow as BA499. October 2 2002 to DHL Air with unchanged registration. December 1 2001 ferried to Mobile, Alabama for Freighter (F) conversation. Flew back to Europe from Mobile via East Midlands September 25-26 2002 in the then standard burgundy-white DHL livery. First seen in the new yellow-red scheme June 2009. First in database with British Airways. Scanned from an old slide.
