Hmmm.
And a lot less than a number of other airlines – Lufthansa, with their airworthy Ju52-3m, for instance, or Sabena, before the crash, supporting the Lysander, or Air Canada flying the TCA Lockheed 10A, or South African Airlines – in terms of arline size – heritage commitment ratio, I think BA (corporate) is well behind the curve, David. I’d be delighted to be convinced otherwise, but my lack of BA appreciation is entirely down to their own actions – or lack of – not anyone else’s. BA’s handling of the Concorde disposal and the evisceration of the Cosford collection achieved major minus points purely through arrogance, IMHO.

I was going to mention the Cosford cull JDK.
BA weren’t so into preservation there.
The old Gripper is just about my favorite British jet airliner and it was very sad to see the Cosford one chopped up.
