Purchased by Eagle Aviation from BEA in 1953 and operated Eagles first scheduled passenger flight, from Blackbushe to Belgrade, via Munich on 6th June 1953. Sold to Airnautic as F-BJRS in April 1961 and later flew with Air Dauphine and Transports Aeriens Reunis before being withdrawn and scrapped at Perpignan in 1975.

Built in 1947 for British European Airways and acquired by Eagle in 1955. On 9 August 1961 it flew into a rock face while attempting an ILS approach to Stavanger (ENZV) killing all on board including 33 school-boys from Croydon ages 13 to 16. As with the Man. United Munich crash a few years earlier this horrific accident caught the public's attention and I remember how upset my mother was, being as I was 14 at that time myself.

Eagle Airways Viking 3B arrives on a scheduled service from Bergen. Ex BEA, this aircraft was operated from February 1955, adopting the new "Cunard Eagle" titles in 1960. It was sold to Airnautic for spares in June 1962.
