The 400’s had all more or less gone when baby was launched. Baby never wanted them anyway, they wanted to be like all the rest of the loco’s with good old -300’s. One of the last to go from I remember was ‘MM and boy did we praise the day! Had a regular habit of being tech whenever I went near it! lol!!!

The -500’s will be next, a couple gone already. The minute they were put into baby colours, they started going tech too. The crew hate them to work on. I think they were drafted in for the thinner routes like EMA-EDI/GLA as an after thought. Again, it was never in the master plan to operate the 500’s either.

Not true.
British Midland operated many 737-400’s at least 8 in their time.

G-SFBH
G-BOPJ
