Most unusual aircraft on a BA operated flight.
The thread on first ever BA flight got me thinking on what has been the most unusual aircraft I flew on a BA operated flight - I could say the Concorde but that was on the timetable for many years.
For me it was a Gulfstream 1 btw MAN-ABZ in the spring of 1987 - a two engine prop.
I think the airline that owned the aircraft was Peregrine Air Services Ltd.
Any other good examples.

I can remember several operating BA flights.
BHX-GLA on a Saab 340 of Birmingham Executive Airways 1985.
GLA-INV-GLA on a Herald of British Air Ferries 1988.
BHX-HAM on a Fokker F50 of Maersk Air 1989.
LHR-JFK on an Air New Zealand DC-10 1980

Some unusual BA aircraft are posted in the lists in this thread from a couple of years ago:
Who's flown on what?
Also:
Did BA ever fly Chinooks?
