British Airtours - UK based and routes

BKT had its HQ at Gatwick, which I believe was also its main operational base, along with Manchester (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong). Did the company have any other British bases or outstations? In 1985, one of their TriStars rotated through LBA from and to Palma and their 737s were seen in subsequent years at LBA on W-patterns. Which other airports did BKT serve and with which aircraft? I remember seeing their 707s at Manchester on several occasions in the late 70s and early 80s; I don't know which routes they flew but I'd guess to certain Mediterranean and African destinations that the 737 couldn't quite reach.

Thankyou.

BTW, the title should read 'bases'.
