A firm favourite of a lot of people was the 757-200, especially amongst charter airlines, one such example is example G-OOBC seen here taxiing out at a couple of years before its retirement.

G-OOBC was initially delivered to Air2000 back in March 2003, transferring to First Choice Airlines when it was renamed.
BC spent its entire passenger life with the Thomson (later group) and its predecessors.
Retired by in March 2020 from passenger service it underwent passenger to freighter conversion and currently operates in China as B-220J with SF Airlines.
