One of my earliest slides just before (fortunately) switching to Kodachrome. G-ANBL was received by BOAC on 2 March 1957 and was leased by Britannia Airways from June 1965. Sub-leased to Southern Cross just for a month and returned to Britannia who then purchased her, but scrapped at Luton July 1972 after 18 months' storage. An Airlift 707 (background) is one thing I don't have in my collection...

Looking magnificent after preparation by Monarch/Airline Engineering for Aerocaribbean, this was their second of three Britannias, joining CU-T669 (transferred from Cubana as CU-T114). Ex RAF XM496 and Afrek G-BDUP, operated until the airline's final Brit flight on 22.3.90, a 3-engine ferry from Guayaquil to Havana after diversion en-route from Lima. To Transair as 9Q-CJH and famously made the last ever Britannia flight, back to the UK on 14.10.97 as EL-WXA, now beautifully restored as XM496 at Kemble

This Brit was seized by HM Customs a few months after this shot (I remember seeing a photo of it carrying their titles and logo in a doctored b&w!). Ex XL660 and operated alongside G-BDLZ (my shot of 'LZ shows the two of them) until seizure 8.79; became A6-HMS with Gaylan in 4.80 then to 9Q-CGP of Katale A/T 11.82 and later b/u in Zaire. The ex Air Mauritanie DC-4 behind, 5N-ARC, had recently made a wheels-up landing during a test flight out of SEN for Arax Airlines

Still showing its RAF Transport Command heritage, this Britannia was taken on charge as XM519 "Capella" in 2.60. One of two bought by Afrek in 1976 for cargo work and wfu early eighties but sold to Aerocaribbean as CU-T121 in 8.84. Broken up for spares by Trans Air Cargo of Zaire at Havana in 11.95, just too soon for me as I was there the next month

Still showing its RAF Transport Command heritage, this Britannia was taken on charge as XM519 "Capella" in 2.60. One of two bought by Afrek in 1976 for cargo work and wfu early eighties but sold to Aerocaribbean as CU-T121 in 8.84. Broken up for spares by Trans Air Cargo of Zaire at Havana in 11.95, just too soon for me as I was there the next month

Here are the two Air Faisal Britannias, both with their distinctive ex-RAF cheatlines, although Lima Zulu's has been changed to green. Originally XM490 in 1960, she was bought in 11.75 by this rather shadowy operator, sister-ship G-BEMZ (ex XL660) following in 2.77. Broken up at Luton 9.79
