The deal for the 6 aircraft was about £50m (The Pan-am a/c were ~£20m each). BA then leased a couple of -500s a year or so later.



ZD949 (The mid life update a/c with the glass cockpit) was scrapped at Marshalls in 2014, as was C2A ZE709. ZD952 was scrapped at Kemble, aslo in 2014

C2A was ZE706.
