Both B744 are still at LHR at this time (08:29 BST).

BAW747 (G-CIVY) will be heading to St Athan for scrapping and BAW400 (G-CIVB) to Cotswold (Kemble) for a similar fate.

It's reported they will take off, simultaneously, one using 27L and the other 27R.

Maybe the take-offs will be timed at 07:47 UTC?

Both appear to be using 27R so the previous info was unreliable.

BAW400 rolling now.  BAW747 next.

G-CIVB will apparently be saved and put on display at Kemble (info from Scramble website...
