British Airways' last Heathrow-based 747s take off for final flights

"It's going to be missed," said BA engineer John Moore, who has worked on them for 35 years and witnessed the first ever 747 flight in the US in the early 1970s with his designer father.

The 747 model has been a mainstay for the airline since the early 1970s but will be replaced by newer aircraft that offer 25% better fuel efficiency.
