Although G-BNWW was one of the first longhaul 767s to be refurbed, there are at least 7 refurbs now running, G-BNW M, S, T, V, W, X, Y and, sad but true, I have checked and have been on all but one of them... 
In fact I think more of the longhaul 767s are now refurbed than not.
Although they don't really feel that much different, it's nice to know that the bits you can't see are clean(er) and that there have only been hundreds, not thousands of people sitting on your seat before you

I think it indeed was WW... Although my eyes are crap, I think I can just about make it out from the shot from the lounge to the front of the aircraft on stand...

In the pic in the paper, Kim Wilde was in W performing facing Y and there was no bulkhead between the cabins, is this normal? I'm sure there was one there when I flew an unrefurbished 767. It was several years ago MAN-JFK

I hope they put the divider back..
When I was last on G-BNWN it had its centre divider between W and Y but both dividers by the window were missing - no apparent reason - but it made legroom in the front row of Y pretty impressive... made the W cabin feel pretty naked though...

Watching Comic Relief this evening, great entertainment and very moving.
Well done BA for supporting such a great initiative, all the staff who have raised funds, and the generosity of FTers who have made contributions.

Is this not a backwards step, the 767s normally have AVOD as standard?
Seriously well done all at BA involved in this.
