"Big John" taxying for departure on Southend's runway 24. Made the last BAF car ferry flight in January 1977. WFU at Southend in February 1977. After years of deterioration it was re-painted, engines re-fitted and placed on temporary static display outside BAF Engineering in October 1981 until sold to a scrap dealer in December 1983 and broken up on-site despite attempts by a former BAF Captain to save it.

Carvair No.13 G-ASKN, which had been sold to Société Anonyme de Construction (SOACO) the previous day and had its BAF titles painted over, seen here preparing for departure to Libreville, Gabon later the same day. It was only operated by SOACO for 5 months, making its last ever flight to Brazzaville, Congo on 8th December 1976. It was sold to Aero Service (AFRIGO) but scrapped at Brazzaville in 1986 due to lack of spare parts.

G-AREK was wet-leased from BAF by Pauling Middle East Company LLC from June 1974 to February 1976. It then entered a period of storage at Southend, as seen here. It was brought back to flying status for UNI Air in June 1977, flying to Toulouse on 6th July 1977 and receiving French registration F-BYCL the same day. Proposed contracts did not materialise and the aircraft remained stored at Toulouse for 2 years until purchased for use by Falcon Airways becoming N83FA on 4th August 1979. Sadly, it crashed into a shopping mall on take-off from Griffin, GA on 4th April 1997.
