BA classic 747-200s

Morning all

Does anyone remember when the 742s were retired by BA? I do remember reading on PPRUNE that retirement of the "classic" 747s was hastened following 9/11, but not sure when exactly the last one left the fleet, nor the final flight of the BA 747-200? IIRC, they had sold several of them (G-BDX* registrations) to European Aviation Air Charter (EAAC) who briefly ran some long haul charters from BOH/MAN/LGW circa 2002-4. I've also tried looking for some cabin shots of the classic 747-200s but can't seem to find any sadly Would be great to see any if anyone on the thread has any from previous trips etc
