I could be wrong, I often am, but were they non-stop? I think they were operated before the arrival of the 747-400 and I suspect UK-FI non stop in a 747-200 would have been "tight"..
As for these days of course it as all changed - the modern big twins are often routinely operating sectors of the sort of length needed to get from the UK to the Falklands, but you need to make sure, as has been stated, that the crew rest has been sorted out...
