Flew with BOAC from new in 1958 until sold to Monarch Airlines in 1969. Scrapped at Luton (EGGW) in 1977. (The new decade was a novelty to us having never known anything but 1950-something up until then. Doubtless McIntyre, being of the same age group, made a point of getting something on film to mark the occasion.)

About to grease it on is this 1956 built 'Seven Seas' smartly painted in a livery that really suits it (IMHO). Later it flew with Saturn Airways as N90773 from 1963 to 1969, after which it was scrapped.
