One other minor difference (that I doubt many knew - I certainly didn't) was that it had no GPS unlike our fleet which were all GPS equipped.
Great story. I believe in BA she was known as “Never Leaves Hangar” but same difference I guess. A proper hangar queen.

You’ll be pleased to know they’re all fitted with GPS now!
