British Airways TriStar 500.
Were there any particular reasons this fleet didn't see very long service with British Airways ? The earlier -1, -100 and -200 fleets seemed to be around for years with BA, BKT and Caledonian but the 500 was seemingly here today, gone tomorrow. The RAF seemed to like them though, going by their acquisition of the ex-Pan Am/United fleet too. I remember BA leased a couple of 500s from Air Lanka in the mid-1980s but that too was for a relatively brief period.
Thankyou.
