This Herald was last operated by British Air Ferries until withdrawn from use in Feb 1982 and stored at Southend. In July 1991 it was loaned to The Herald Society for restoration and preservation, and the aircraft was trucked in sections to the then newly-formed museum between August and October 1992. Assembly was completed in Mar 1994, and it was later painted in the BEA colours seen here, even though it only briefly carried these colours for a few months in 1962. The Herald was officially unveiled as such in a ceremony on 16 April 1997.

Seen here undergoing restoration at the Brooklands Museum, with its wings still separate. Was not easy to photograph, with its nose in broad daylight and the tail section hiding away in a dark hangar. This Viking arrived at the museum from Cosford on 27 June 1991, after having been on display there since 1979. Before that it had been in use as a restaurant near Soesterberg, The Netherlands since 1964. Seen in front of the Viking is a nice taxiable 1909 Santos-Dumont Demoiselle replica, built in 1999.

Over the threshold of 28R at LHR, winter 1971/1972. Its was marked as the Channel Islands division of BEA. In those days a Viscount would sometimes still be used instead of a Trident on a route like London-Amsterdam. BOAC 1940s hangars behind

The wing leading edge high lift devices visible in this photo were involved in the loss of Trident Papa India. About a year after this photo I saw a Trident of another operator start dropping back towards the runway from this position on gear retraction, luckily they recovered and resumed climbing, to the relief of the Tower and the crew themselves, no doubt.

'Vagrant' was built for BEA in 1946 as a type V.498 but in June 1948 was converted to a type V.657 for BWIA and re-registered as VP-TAX. She returned to England in 1955 to fly for British International Airlines and was later sold to Channel Airlines in April 1959. Her final flight was to Soesterberg in 1964 where she became a cafe for the next 15 years or so. After a short time at Cosford she is now on display in her original BEA livery at Brooklands.
