That is a shame. It was always nice to see the BA 748s when they occasionally came in. They always looked much cleaner, more modern and more impressive than the usual 744s we see. Would have been nice to see them on the FIA contract.
Plus it was nice to see BRITISH AIRWAYS down the side of an aircraft, even if it was on a cargo 747, it made a change from the normal and between that and the chartered BA Shuttle to FAO in the summer you could almost imagine what the place would look like with some full service and longhaul operating.
