Whose B757 aircraft did GB charter to go to the USA?

Footage I saw has stars on the tail, which makes me think it would have been Titan in a VIP configuration.
Don't know which Airport it flew to though.

No BA spare capacity after a well-documented incident earlier this year.

And, in these days where everyone is monitoring carbon footprints and state expenditure, a 757 might keep some people happier compared to a 767/777/747.

Stars on the tail would suggest Astraeus - as far as I know Titan has some sort of wierd moon/planet type logo.

No doubt some enlightened techno-geek will helpfully post links.

It was Titan.

Saw a full pic in a newspaper.

Didn't see flightplans for it though - or certainly not with an AWC code.

Could it be flying without a published flightplan, such as Air Force One has done in the past?

I believe the aircraft is due back to LHR in the early hours of Saturday morning.
