Looks just like Stuart Bailey's photo - unless of course, you are Stuart Bailey.

BOAC's first B747-100 had its first flight on March 14, 1971. BOAC became BA in 1974.

But is it your photo? Just asking if you took the snap.

@VivPike- Yes it is my own, I edited the quality slightly since I used my crappy sony camera. There were a lot of other photographers there, sorry if it looks similar to others, I'm not stealing others photos.

@SFOSotting - if you say so, I will take your word for it. It is just incredible that both of you took the pic at exactly the same instant, looking at the stride of the person just ahead of the nose gear. https://airwaysmag.com/airlines/live-british-airways-celebrates-centenary-with-boac-livery-photos/
