The nose section of this aircraft is preserved at Farnborough.

Seen in a basic Northeast Airlines livery after the take-over by British Airways.

Take off on RWY 22. [Nikkormat FTn + Nikkor 105/2.5]

In Northeast Airlines (UK) colours with British Airways titles. Trident 1Es weren't selling. Hawker Siddley built 15 but only sold 10. They needed to offload 5 white tails. Channel Airways agreed to buy them. then reduced its order to two. Two of three due to go to Channel, G-AVYC and 'D were then sold to Newcastle-based BKS Air Transport in 1969. In November 1970, BKS changed its name to Northeast Airlines. In July 1973, Northeast became part of the British Airways group. Hence the hybrid livery you see in the picture. It had been repainted into British Airways before it was destroyed in a take-off accident at Bilbao in 1975.

The Trident always looked great in this livery. The aircraft is preserved at Duxford

Taken at the Imperial war museum in Duxford

I was never a fan of this drab livery.

Ex 5B-DAA. [Nikkormat FTn + Nikkor 105mm/2,5]

This is one of a the few Trident 1Es operated by British Airways. They were acquired after the demise of Northeast Airlines and BKS. The aircraft is seen on the approach to runway 28 R (now 27R)
