BOAC, once they had got rid of their old WW2-derived fleet of freighters, used Avro Yorks chartered in from various UK independent operators during this period. It was pretty much a full time operation for at least one, sometimes two, such aircraft with whoever had the contract in a particular year, and the aircraft were just based directly at the BOAC maintenance HQ at Heathrow.
