G-YMMI is one of a handful of British Airways 777s adorned with special slogans celebrating the airline's British heritage, with \"Keeping the flag flying\" printed proudly on the forward fuselage just behind the nose . Photographed at London Heathrow by spotters in September 2018, this particular slogan aircraft has become a favorite among collectors who appreciate BA's patriotic touches .\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eA memorable 2024 incident:\u003c\/strong\u003e G-YMMI made headlines on July 3, 2024, when it operated flight BA31 from London Heathrow to Hong Kong. Four hours into the journey, over Turkmenistan, the crew detected technical issues and made the prudent decision to turn back to Heathrow—an 11-hour round trip that ended exactly where it began . British Airways confirmed it was a minor technical issue, and the aircraft landed safely with passengers disembarking normally . The next attempt with sister ship G-YMMT also faced disruption, diverting to Budapest due to a medical emergency . For collectors, this documented incident adds a layer of real-world history—this is an aircraft that's been tested and proven its reliability .\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eThe 777-200ER legacy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powered by two GE90 engines, the 777-200ER can carry up to 440 passengers up to 7,825 nautical miles . G-YMMI has spent its career shuttling passengers across the Atlantic and to Asia, wearing the current BA livery with the Union Flag on the tail. The type has an interesting safety history—in 2008, sister ship G-YMMM became the first 777 hull loss after a dramatic engine failure on approach to Heathrow, with all 152 on board surviving . That incident led to worldwide fuel system modifications, making every 777 safer as a result .\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eAbout this model:\u003c\/strong\u003e NG Models released G-YMMI (item NG72032) as part of their acclaimed 777 range. On collector forums, NG is consistently praised for having \"better-proportioned aerials and crisp, well-rolling gears across the board,\" with \"solid-core engines properly replicating fan blade shapes\" . The \"Keeping the flag flying\" titles are sharply printed, and the GE90 engine fans feature NG's signature detail. For collectors of British Airways special markings, 777 variants, or aircraft with documented incident histories that ended well, this one ticks multiple boxes.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1:400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiecast Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL 15.93 cm (6.21 in) x W 15.23 cm (5.94 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegistration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eG-YMMI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAircraft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoeing 777-236\/ER\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAirline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBritish Airways\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecial Marking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\"Keeping the flag flying\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 × GE90\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNG Models NG72032\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRelease Status\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiscontinued \/ Sold Out\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-assembled, pre-painted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge 16+ only.
