My dates come from record of service in my filing cabinet. Digging on the internet reveals a photo of a Tristar and 5 engined 747 on the pan around the same time, I presume a week later. Further digging reveals that the last BA 747 did a low circuit at MPA on departure before climb out.

The first one got in trouble both for the low level transit to Stanley as well as the low pass down the runway with with wing rock.
