They first flew Nov 87 and Feb 88 respectively, so both getting on for 20 years old.
BA have sold them on - to a parts dealer. I am sure this was the highest price that was offered for them, otherwise someone else would have got them. I presume it was time for a D-check which would have cost more than they were worth to BA. They have lasted longer in the BA fleet than many of the 757s did.
