I understand your comments now.

Yes, if the photo is from early 90s, then yes! UA did run LHR-FRA using plane 727 after it purchased the Pan Am LHR routes and operation. I have an old route map somewhere and will post it once I find it.

I think the route was discontinued sometime in 1995/1996.

You have an excellent memory!
