I can remember they all smelled brand new like a new car - TEJ was left at GLA because FI/ICE had a Station Engineer there IIRC...
Britannia also had around 3 x Air Holland 757's on lease until their own -204's started to be delivered in 1991
All of these 757's that were on lease were fully painted up in Britannia colours.
My pal just went out and back last week LGW to Antalya on a TUI 757 - I was very jealous - He did a very nice video of it taxiing in at AYT with 2 or 3 other TUI 757's all lined up on the ramp there in the warm evening -
Love that noise of the RR E4's when they spool up....sigh
We shall miss them when they are gone as their Mission capability is way and beyond anything else...
