Seen immediately before final breaking up, this Heron served various British airlines from 1955 and was bought by Channel in 11.68 after a period with BIAS/Sabena as OO-BIA. Substantial parts of the scrap including front fuselage were seen in the Staravia yard at Lasham later that month along with the remains of sisters G-AMUK, G-AOZM and G-APKV

Seen immediately before final breaking up, this Heron served various British airlines from 1955 and was bought by Channel in 11.68 after a period with BIAS/Sabena as OO-BIA. Substantial parts of the scrap including front fuselage were seen in the Staravia yard at Lasham later that month along with the remains of sisters G-AMUK, G-AOZM and G-APKV

Note the two ex-East Anglian Flying Services/Channel DH.89A Dragon Rapides at right, G-AEMH and G-AKRN, which were wfu way back in 1960

Southend attracted more than its fair share of exotic propliners seeking the attentions of ATEL and this C-54 was no exception. Of 1944 vintage, she went to KLM in 1945 and France's TAI in 1948. Bought by Air Afrique 1966 and sold to Air Comores after the Southend overhaul as F-OCSV. Lastly to SOACO as TR-LUT in 1975 and wfu two years later, then broken up
