(LHR) - London Heathrow Landing RWY 27L - British Airways 777-200 - 2/10/24

First time in London! Again, apologies for the spots where it focuses out, there were a ton of scratches on the window and I was battling to keep it focused outside, ha. Also, I had to cut out the taxi back to gate part because the window fogged up after landing and there was no hope to see outside. But I am pretty happy with the overall video, leave a like if you enjoyed too! :)

Some dirty wings 😂

[@BluestreakAviation]

Yes, yes they are lol 😅

[@cherrelyware9022]

😂

[@lesivs]

That aircraft is filthy. It says a lot about the regular maintenance program and airline has no pride.

[@BluestreakAviation]

I mean... I suppose? Do you have experience in maintenance or have some insight? I'm gonna study up on this a bit and learn more why it might be this severe, but these planes are getting older, this one is 26 years old right now!! @@lesivs

[@BluestreakAviation]

If you look up G-VIIH on youtube, there's actually a decent amount of videos on this specific plane, you can see it is definitely not the same, so it gets cleaned but to do a big deep clean it's expensive and time consuming of course, so its just not probably too frequent.@@lesivs

[@lucaas]

Nice video! Would you be okay with me featuring this landing in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!

[@BluestreakAviation]

Of course! Thanks for askin

[@BluestreakAviation]

Ha yea!

[@jayd1426]

London landings never get old, especially with the aerial view of the greenery, the main parts of the city, the Thames, London's suburbia, and more. Still miss the usual presence of the BA 747s at Heathrow. Nice video!

[@BluestreakAviation]

Thanks! I'll have to go back because I didn't get to explore all of it yet, but I got a good taste, it was fun!

[@DavidFennessy-yj7du]

The oily residue on the wing gives the aircraft character, it’s probably hydraulic fluid spillage from a servicing procedure and with the wind blasting over the surface it’s spread the fluid which for some reason has adhered to the surface

[@BluestreakAviation]

Right on!

[@AntoniosSpiliotopoulos]

I definitely agree! I don't get why people are litteraly upset about it😂

[@johnkerr1953]

Great to watch these massive planes coming in to land , or even taking off & away to the other side of the world.

[@BluestreakAviation]

Absolutely!

[@jeremyhaines4481]

Nice video and landing

[@Corvus380]

Legend has it, The wings are only cleaned when the anti-ice comes out!, Do better BA

[@dogmannz]

How much extra fuel are they burning with all that gunge sticking to it?

[@kk-transport]

Great Video and landing

[@3MinutesofAviation]

Cool stuff! May I feature this landing in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. All the best to you!

Yes of course! I watch your videos all the time lol, thanks for asking!

Yup 😂, and thanks!

Some very old hydraulic leaks ✈️🤣

Funny Comment

[@tiemji]

Nice vid

[@Mathis_33]

En plus le boeing il est bien sale, très bon vol

[@barriedouglas7272]

The next maintenance check, get out the Karcher spray cleaner on those flaps.

[@howardsykes2754]

What a grubby plane. I'd hope BA could afford the few quid to put a pressure hose over it. I've had similar problems with the autofocus out of old SAS 737 aircraft with filthy windows.

[@DavidFennessy-yj7du]

Pressure hose?….they use special cleaning agents on them, it’s not a big deal it’s a working aircraft, not some flying yacht

[@DavidFennessy-yj7du]

At least they got rid of that bloody awful’Landau’ livery they had in the 90’s , horrible peal white, precious looking rubbish,I bet a woman was behind that

[@DavidFennessy-yj7du]

The’Negus’ livery of the 70’s and 80’s was much better, the airline liveries are nowhere near as good as they used to be, Aer Lingus is an example, they had a great livery in the 70’s and 80’s, now they have some poncey looking computery looking thing, there’s a host of other airlines that have screwed up their great liveries, Saudia used to be great and now look at what they’ve gone and done!!!

[@tjfSIM]

that’s some risky wings

[@kurnma3776]

That'll definitely need a deluxe tier car wash!

[@BluestreakAviation]

Ya 🙄😂

[@thejetchannel]

I flew G-VIIH at the end of 2023 from Cincinnati to Heathrow. Same Aircraft and route and same filthy wings. Hope they have been washed since.

[@BluestreakAviation]

Ayyy! Yea ill have to check back on it lol

[@paulwyke4791]

Yes indeed, the flight controls on the a/c were very dirty alas, I wonder if passengers were put off by them. Not a good advertisement for BA.

[@garthvictor4951]

That's one dirty birdy I will say😄

[@BluestreakAviation]

Ha! Dirty birdy I like that

[@darrell190967]

That plane has seen some stuff

[@telamin1809]

I could tell it’s BA just from the dirty wings on the thumbnail image

[@BluestreakAviation]

Ahh cmon, I've seen some other dirty 777s recently that aint BA 😂

[@wootle]

This has got to be the dirtiest wing I have ever seen. I think the pilots take this 777 offroading in Alaska along those forest trails.

[@BluestreakAviation]

Yeehaw! Lol

[@mrjagriff]

It matches where it landed

[@BluestreakAviation]

Yikers

[@Alien_O1]

Thats soot and burn marks from the last engine fire. The underneith is worse. It has holes in it. 😅

[@itseliasyall2384]

Keep those wings nice and dirty, make the aircraft seem like it’s got serious airway miles on it 😎 like a knight with dented armor 💪🏽 On second thought… a dirty airfoil causes more drag 🗿 Ground Ops please give some love to my 777 Brotha 😅

[@BluestreakAviation]

Lol!

[@lasttocomment5869]

those flaps have been through the trenches literally

[@BluestreakAviation]

Yeah...

[@alexey0624]

Looks like there is a lubricant leak in the wing mechanism

[@BluestreakAviation]

Maybe, just a lot of built up dirt and grime.

[@Dah_Boi_Dude_Bros_45]

Someone took a photo of this plane on the same day

[@danielelenesanfosso744]

I have never in my life seen wings so dirty.

Did you fly through a volcanic ash cloud? :p

Is that your 1st time flying British airways, how is it and service and how much did you pay to fly British airways?

[@BluestreakAviation]

Yes it was! The service was good they were very nice! Despite the outside look it was very nicely maintained inside lol.

[@kevin19358]

I see. How about the price, do you remember how much did you pay to fly British airways?

[@BluestreakAviation]

@@kevin19358 I'm not too sure, I was using non-rev tickets which means I only paid for the international travelling taxes and fees and not the ticket, I think they would have been maybe $2000 ish?

[@kevin19358]

Okay I see, wow that's expensive. Thanks.

[@Spikey1968]

some one tag BA pls this needs a wash !!

[@BluestreakAviation]

Apparently thats what we need to do! I didn't realize this video would get so many views for being so dirty and not the flight itself 😂

[@michaelchenal5288]

No safety concern but a strange feeling for passengers about the airline quality. It c'd a little bit brake the air flow and cause light vibrations. Situation to avoid anyway

The..‘state’..of the plane? It’s in good working order, it’s a working aircraft, the smudging is probably a sign of the aircraft actually having been attended to recently maybe, checking fluids etc
