Yep.... FedEx are having the old BA 757s.

Think that all the remainder will transit thru the LGW Hangar for the End of Lease / PreSale checks.

Latest one ( ex PED ) departs this week.

Off topic but still on 757's, presume all BA's at Heathrow are being got rid of, saw at least 3 last week round the old Concorde hangar looking very dejected and minus decals. Anyone know whats happening to them please?

According to Ian Allan website last BA 757 service is on 31st October. Ian Allan have a special farewell charter on 6th November.

i was looking at booking a flight from London or Liverpool to the Spain/Greece area of the world in Nov. Are there any particular routes or days of the week that could guarantee (or near guarantee) a flight on one of the leased 757s?

The seats were dark blue with the typical fake leather plasticy finish

Are you sure? Seats very likely are leather; excellent fire-blocking qualities and can be easily cleaned (if anyone bothers to!).

BA 757s

Thanks for this info - though its so sad. At least they arent being broken up, but they deserve better than carting parcels around! I only hope Fedex occasionally might fly them into Heathrow and/or Gatwick, but guess they will end up at regional airports in the dead of night if they get to stay in the UK?.

I dont suppose anyone knows if any 757 will be preserved when they are all taken out of service - which is probably not too far away? We need to keep an example of this aircraft that was so far ahead of her time.

I havent seen a Monarch 757 for ages, have they got rid of all theirs now? Had a happy couple of journeys on them.

The 757 will be around for quite sometime yet. You will see them in abundance with Thomson, Jet2, Monarch, American and Continental to name but a few.
