Last 747 at Bournemouth?

I'm trying to track down recent 747 visits at Bournemouth Airport. Best I can find is TF-AAK (ex Air France / Iron Maiden / Saudia / Air Atlanta Icelandic) and VG-BZV (ex Virgin / Longtail / JetOneX), both visiting in January/February of 2022. The former worked a few flights from Bournemouth before being sent to Cotswold Airport, where it was later broken up. The latter made its last flight from Bournemouth, to Hamburg (Germany), where it was broken up a couple of months later.

There used to be a Qatar government 747-800 that visited occasionally, but I don't think that's been seen in many years.

Apart from those three, I've not been aware of any 747s of any configuration visiting Bournemouth. Do you know otherwise?

No mention of any 747s visiting in the March, April or May issues of Air Britain News, which covers January to April this year - I haven't checked back further.
