This was on a thread sometime ago where it was stated that BA do own all their 747's. I can't remember which thread but I do remember it clearly so I can understand BA wanting to hold onto them. Plus as some else has pointed out, I do know that Cargo pays very well including on the 747 routes.
See page 9 of the 2017 BA report.
