BAF acquisition of British Airways Viscount 800s.

Afternoon all. The Viscount remains my favourite aeroplane after hundreds of years and I have seen the BAF and BA examples (among others) pass through various airports. Does anyone have any information or stories as to how and why BAF came to acquire the aircraft ? Did they take all of them, reject a few, buy all the spares ? Did any BA pilots move over to BAF ? And so on. As I recall, until BAF became a Viscount operator, it was a comparatively small player with a handful of Heralds. So it must have been quite an undertaking.

Thank you.
