They did have contract in if my memory serves me 1996 with L10-11 at MAN; they also used to bring a B747 up from STN for the weekend for coverage as well
And 1997, and two dedicated L10 aircraft in 1998, at MAN.
Then, then axe fell on their maintenance due to the UKCAA action, and Britannia bolted in '99, and leased from Aer Turas...I know because I flew the airplane.
Freightops is full of horsepucky...nothing new there.
