That's absolutely correct.

In October 1972, BAF's ownership passed from Air Holding's to the Keegan family.

In 1973, BAF became a wholly owned subsidiary of Transmeridian Air Cargo (TMAC), the Stansted based all cargo airline controlled by the Keegan family.

In 1977 the Keegan family sold 90% of Transmeridian Air Cargo (TMAC) to the Trafalgar House Group. On the 15 August 1979 Transmeridian Air Cargo (TMAC) merged with IAS Cargo to form British Cargo Airlines.
