BT have, in total, about 160,000 premises with fibre to the home/premises available to them.

Yeah I didn't give a figure! Of course I know about the underground network, I work on it! I just used the vague term "plenty" which is correct. I come across a fair bit of overhead fibre. I've seen a lot of mobile masts fed with overhead fibre, businesses too.

The last drop is still twisted pair UG or from poles, and I'm pretty certain they don't have trunk/core fibre on poles.
Unless you can show me examples of where they do?

Why do you need examples?! You'll just have to trust me I'm afraid.
