Most of BOAC engine shutdowns occurred with other operators airframes!
We were on strike for a period during early 747 introduction and such was the
-3 attrition rate that BOAC 'leant' their engines to others to overcome shortages. A profit was made,I believe, with many of the early BOAC arrivals sitting on the aprons with concrete blocks hanging on the pylons!
