The 3 they owned were G-MLJL / G-MDBD / G-OMYT, all are circa 20 years old but are by no means finished. I remember going on JL when it was brand new and delivered to Airtours!

And speaking of Airtours, and then MyTravel (which was a rebrand disaster) it was TCX’s acquisition of that mess which many many years later has lead to their demise 😢
