Anyone have the actual status of these aircraft ? I have read that they are gone from BA, either actually sold or Qantas took over the lease directly with the head leasing company for them.

But then there are repeated accounts over the years about them coming back at the end of their lease. And with BA committed to no capital spending on new long-haul aircraft it would be a way to increase the fleet without the spending.

Would be unusual for Qantas to be so keen to keep them, they are moving across to A330s, and their 767-300 fleet has two different engine types, with the RR ones being the minority, so one would expect those to be the first to be rationalised out.
