The finished (apart from some clocks) cockpit section looks truly magnificent and a testament to all those volunteer man-hours necessary to bring it back to such a pristine condition. Note the reg. plate (XA-NAR) visible in the centre of the control panel. This aircraft never actually flew with BOAC, rather will eventually be displayed in its true Mexicana markings at the Museum of Flight at BFI.

Built as G-ARBB. Served Mexicana as XA-NAT. Stored in a densely packed area of the airport. Withdrawn from use in Dec 1970 and sold to Westernair in Apr 1973. Registered as N777WA a year later, but this reg was never applied to the aircraft. It was ultimately dismantled at Mexico City in the 1980s and trucked to the Parque Hidalgo de Irapuato in Irapuato. This became the Parque Zoológico Irapuato in Apr 1993, and the aircraft was displayed there until it was eventually broken up in March 2015.

I was fortunate to catch similar photos of both Sudan Comets within a couple odd days of each other; here is ST-AAW touching down on LHR's 10L. Bought by Dan-Air 6.75 and restored to her unfamiliar pre-delivery reg G-ASDZ but never operated; broken up later the same year at Lasham

It was good to see the Sudan Comets still operating as late as this. Delivered to Sudan 12.62 and to Dan-Air as G-BDIF 8.75; b/u Lasham 10.80. I recollect seeing a Sudan Comet stored in a hangar at Teesside ca 1974 but not sure if it was this one or ST-AAW

Ex Mexicana XA-NAT, in derelict condition. Was sold to Westernair of Albuquerque in Apr 1973 and registered as N777WA a year later, but this registration was never painted on the aircraft. It was ultimately dismantled at Mexico City in the 1980s and trucked to the Parque Hidalgo de Irapuato in Irapuato, which became the Parque Zoológico Irapuato in Apr 1993. The aircraft remained on display there until scrapped in March 2015.
