I suppose I wasn't precise enough here; my comment about "The first six Tristars were the definitive BEA order" was referring to the first six of the BA Tristars (BBAE to BBAJ), not the first six overall, although they were delivered after the BEA/BOAC merger into BA was consummated. Later ones were called off directly by BA.
