Neither SABENA or Virgin Express (with their 737 Classic fleet), nor Air Comet Plus, or British Airways’ Utopia livery with their 737-200 or 757-200 fleet, just as Scandinavian livery or their MDs. British Airways’ G-BIK_ series was the company’s 1st batch of Boeing 757s. Line #10, G-BIKB was alphabetically the 2nd 757-200 in BA fleet, however delivered first on January 25 1983.
