Such a shame if this is the case. Last time I flew BA26 was late 2013, in F on the 2nd or 3rd day of the A380 on that route, and the crew (flight and cabin) were childishly excited (in a good way) about having the aircraft on the route. There were a few minor service glitches as they weren't completely familiar with everything onboard, but their positive attitude meant that didn't really matter.
