They apparently used just one plane doing a daily round trip. When we returned the 757 had trouble at JFK and we had to take a BA 757 to LHR and a 747 to JFK. The configuration of the 757 on the domestic UK flight was different from the transatlantic one. European charter operators used 757's for quite long flights. A German operator lost one in South America or the Caribbean a few years ago.
