What happens to retired BA seats?

Just wondering, what will happen to the old SH seats, of which there must now be thousands, will they be sold off like Lufthansa?

I am sure that FTers will be flocking to buy them if offered with a free 34" ruler.

I remember seeing a bunch of converter seats on eBay a few years ago - someone flagged it up on FT I think.

I regret not buying a row (or two?) then, would make for great living room furniture

I'd love to do that and then replicate the BA in-flight experience team by later facing as close as possible to my living room wall.

Hi all,

Having made some enquiries before I saw this thread...

BA seem to have a contract with a mysterious third party who take all of the stuff away never to be seen again. Presumably it is recycled. I am working on finding out where it goes out of interest.

Incidentally, does anyone fancy any of the pictures that used to be on the front bulkheads? They are (or at least were when I last went) in the staff shop if you do, for those of you that know people who work in waterside. There is certainly a big box in the hangar full of them with 'picture frames - please keep' written on the side.
