Delivered to Trans Canada Air Lines as CF-TKU in 1962. Renamed to Air Canada in 1964. To Air Holdings in 1969 and stored at Cambridge. Reregistered as G-AZNG then to Air Trader as SE-FTI in 1972. Returned to Air Holdings as G-AZNG then to Merpati Nusantara Airlines as PK-MVC in 1973. Back to Air Holdings as G-AZNG then to Europe Aero Service as F-BVUY in 1974. To Merpati Nusantara Airlines as PK-MVA in 1981. Withdrawn from use at Jakarta-Kemayoran by 1985 and later scrapped.

Delivered to Air Holdings in November 1969 to be G-AZNG but still not worn as at this date. To SE-FTI in April 1972 then G-AZNG, PK-MVC, G-AZNG, F-BVUY, PK-MVA. Broken up in Jakarta November 1985.

Taken on a very busy day at Glasgow, when many flights arrived with football fans for the 1976 European Cup Final, Bayern Munich v. St.Etienne.

Ex G-AZNG, registered 12th Nov 1974 and to PK-MVA March 1981

In close company with G-BAMX (PK-MVW), this was one of eight Vanguards leased or bought by Merpati in the Seventies, four ex-Air Canada and four ex-BEA. Originally CF-TKU to TCA in 11.62, became G-AZNG with Air Holdings in 2.72 and leased to Air Trader (SE-FTI) for the latter half of the year. To PK-MVC 8.73 but officially back to G-AZNG 4.74, then F-BVUY for EAS in 11.74. Bought back by Merpati in 3.81, this time as PK-MVA and stored at JKT from 11.85 (see my 1983 shot), being scrapped by 1994

Got to see this ex Air Canada Vanguard in lots of different identities in her later career - see my other shots uploaded

A nice line of classics, typical of Southend in the Seventies. SE-FTI didn't last long as such and went on to Merpati, EAS and back to Merpati again. Next is G-BAMX looking as though it is badly corroded - broken up a year later. Then ex-EPA Carvair CF-EPW and Aer Turas DC-4 EI-ARS with UN High Commissioner for Refugees titles

First leased by Merpati in 1974 in their eye-catching yellow and blue scheme as PK-MVC, this Vanguard returned to Indonesia in 1981 when bought from the French carrier Europe Air Service and ended its days there
