Wow! I never knew a guppy had ever visited LHR.
Nice. Ironically I not long watched MEDF descending into manchester on flightradar24. 🙂
😮 Woah!
I think the caledonian ones were listed under Caledonian, weren’t they?
I can say with all honesty, having lived near heathrow up until 2000, I never saw the BA TriStars after the early 90’s, so the info saying they left in around 1991 or there abouts is probably about right.
Brilliant.
This is my fave thread on this site 🙂
I did find this, which suggests 1991..
October: The airline took delivery of its first three 141-seat Boeing 737-436 aircraft. By the end of March 1992, 13 of the aircraft would be in scheduled service with 14 more due for delivery by December 1993. The last of the operating Lockheed Tristar aircraft were withdrawn.

Pics seem to suggest it went back to Air Lanka around 1988 as it was still with BA in 87…
It was still with Air Lanka in 1999..
After that it went to Air Transat.
Dazza, G-BLUS was leased by BA in the 80’s from Air Lanka according to a pic on airliners.net. After that it went back to Air Lanka and also operated for Air Transat.
Nice 🙂 I’ve flown into Conington before, nice little airfield. 🙂
Beautiful. Always great to see Concorde 🙂
I think they left in the early 90’s.
I don’t remember seeing them at LHR in 1995 which was my first visit to the T2 spotters deck (didn’t go there before then because I had a good view from my house but eventually wanted to see the planes up closer)
Such ashame 🙁
No chance they can restore it again?
Very very nice!
I think the Airbus test A380 was also in today.
That livery on that tail is beautiful 🙂
Great shots, nice diverse collection.
Some good catches 🙂
