“Insurance job”?
Plastic bits & flightdeck sheepskin seat covers?
Hope it’s not yet another O2 box fire like the parked 777 some time ago?

It was G -CIVD , which should have been melted down years ago, last time I flew on it, Cabin Crew had to use duct tape to keep the overhead lockers closed

Re: BA 747 Fire
