Many are going to DHL as freighters, one currently at BHX (STS) for conversion. Two others going to St Athan after final flights in the next few days.
Perhaps when Jet2 retire theirs, they'll consider a farewell flight (or two!) for spotters, unlike TUI who never thought about it....
I will be sad to see them go far too soon IMO!
I first flew on a 757 on Air 2000 from Manchester to Kos in 1987 and enjoyed the bucks fizz, hot towel and the Ferrero Rocher. I've flown them quite a few times, mainly with AMM/TOM and also BA. I liked to see the "RR" on the engines as they are made near where I live. I loved the takeoffs, so much power and I wish I'd gone on a 757 from Skiathos instead of the 737 which had to refuel.
I will miss those lovely 757s.
