thanks for that - interesting of course - but I was told 767-300R RR 211-524H at 9670lbs weight (the H/T at 9470lbs) powered a/c cannot have winglets fitted due wing loading/stress issues - apparently that is the bottom line I heard - if someone knows different then do tell.

Now sorry i dont have a link to that info but that would suggest its likely as BA cannot or did not offload their fleet except to the boneyard and a few went off to QF some 17 years ago who also did not retrofit them with WL.

so I guess there is some Tech issue with Rolls engines on a 763 and having WL fitted otherwise BA would have done it surely ?
