It makes sense + they have all the personal so better to let them do something then to let them lay down. I guess this is in the wrong thread ? Was it supposed to go in B747-8 thread re Lufthansa outfitting in Frankfurt ?

Re BA B747 GBNLZ I am prepared to keep visiting Kemble every 10 days or so to document the demise of the old lady, if people are interested ?
