CS-TBP TAP (Transportes Aereos Portugueses) Boeing 727-82 on Stand G12 with a BA Concorde landing on 28L behind at London Heathrow

View from the Queen's Building
One of my earliest Concorde shots here, taken from the very end of the Roof Terrace of the Queen's Building at London Heathrow.

CS-TBP TAP Portugal Boeing 727-82 is seen on Stand G12 - unusual because this was mainly used for widebody aircraft - less of those around though in 1977! Note the Transit vans still in orange BEA livery!

CS-TBP 'Cabo Verde' c/n 20489 Boeing 727-82 was delivered new to TAP (Transportes Aereos Portugueses) in March 1971, and flew with the airline until 1983. The aircraft was then sold back to the USA, and flew with Kalair as N727KS. In 1984, the aircraft went to Falcon Aviation as N727FH, and then in 1996 to Samco Aviation (Cayman Islands) as VR-CKA, later VP-CKA. The aircraft was only taken out of service in 2006 after 35 years of flying! Finally broken up at Southend in 2008.
