Onboard British Airways' shortest Boeing 747 route! The daily Heathrow Moscow return flight, BA233 & BA232! This was filmed onboard flight 233 on January 18th 2014.
This was my first flight on a 747 in nearly 7 years and my first time on a British Airways 747. Have to say I was quite pleased with them. For fairly old aircraft they were very clean, tidy and (much to my disappointment) they were actually really quite quiet! Only complaint is the scratched windows, I did try to avoid filming in the worse part, but it was quite difficult. The flight wasn't full, with plenty of empty seats, however on weekdays I'm told the flight is full as London Moscow is a major business route. However what with it only being a 3 hour 30mins flight and quite a few empty seats made for a very rapid take off for a 747! Just over 20 seconds to get the jumbo off the ground, was very impressive and felt very powerful! A rather wet & grey Heathrow soon replaced by clear skies and snowy scenery over northern Europe! A fantastic approach into Domodedovo gave us quite a good look over a very chilly Moscow where the temperature was 17 during our arrival! A very firm touch down on RWY32R and no reverse thrust used. (with engines 1 & 4 over hanging the ice & snow to the edge of the runway, the use of reverse thrust can be dangerous and can throw large chunks of ice around which can damage the aircraft)

A very long video because I couldn't decide what bits not to include, so I just included them all. Some absolutely beautiful scenery, particularly during approach! Heres a time order of the best bits to make it easier! :)

Great weekend in Moscow, the following day the temperature fell to 29! Which was near impossible to do anything in, but a brilliant experience none the less!
