Out on the 662 on Friday and back this evening on the 663.
Loads weren't looking favourable for Sunday so we played it safe and came back today!
Both on ZHB, and the final 662/3 tomorrow also looks like it will be opr by ZHB as I believe ZHA is still AOG at LHR.

I always tried to fly 767 from LHR-FRA. On 902 tomorrow and it looks like an A321 has replaced it.
I think Lufthansa use A321 for every flight on that route, but BA seem to be mostly sticking to the A319.

Interesting perspective on the 767 history in BA colours and the retirement in this article by a BA pilot

According to a report on FB, there was a scamble of CSD's who wanted to fly on the last 767 service.

I didnt realise a different crew would offer both sectors. I follow a few people on Instagram and it seems that LGW airport workers and a spotter gotpre boarding on both sectors, escorted through LCA on the B2B and given a tarmac walk around at LCA. A few pics on Twitter.
Lots of people spent a day in Cyprus to avoid the B2B. Wonder if BA will have any certificates for passengers and how many safety cards will remain on the aircraft....

I was on an A321 LHR-BEY return with the same cabin crew on both sectors this week. Most seemed to have come from the 767 fleet and had great affection for it (even though they admitted that the aircraft were largely knackered).

Im still surprised that BA didnt order a replacement batch of 767s to fill the role being vacated.
A relatively cheap model to order from a line thats still open due to the freighter models being produced.
Mind you i can still see a future that holds a European configured wide body for BA, a couple of new ordered 777s in an all Y config on the shuttle services to EDI and GLA would be fun
