Built in 1953 for service with the Fleet Air Arm as WP495, she is seen here painted in S-51 BEA colours. The real G-AJOV had the claim to fame in that it inaugurated the world's first ever scheduled helicopter service that operated between Liverpool and Cardiff.

In the early 60s at BEA's insistence De Havilland downsized their Trident project to about 80percent of the 727 weight and thrust. By the late 60s BEA wanted to buy 727s and 737s but a political compromise was constructed whereby the Trident 3B with its RB-162 booster engine was purchased instead of the 727, and the BAC-111-500 instead of the 737. THe booster engine made the Trident 3B noisy. Some were exported to China

BEA experimented with regional divisions such as Scottish Airways a couple of years before it was absorbed into British Airways. Viscounts would still replace Tridents occasionally in the early Seventies

This Herald was last operated by British Air Ferries until withdrawn from use in Feb 1982 and stored at Southend.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.

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.
