In the City of Norwich Aviation Museum, this is an aircraft I have seen many times since the late 1960s operating with a variety of airlines.

Initially delivered to Jersey Airlines and shown shortly after merger into British United, retaining JY's scheme. Operating a holiday flight from Jersey.

Operated by BIA from July 1970 until merger into Air UK in January 1980. 1-11's of Caledonian/BUA and BUA in the background.

Delivered new to Bavaria Fluggesellschaft as D-BIBI in May 1964. Operated by BIA from July 1973 until merged into Air UK on 16 January 1980.

Soc. Columbia was headquartered in Genoa, the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. This explains the airline's name, and the tail logo, which is a stylized representation of the Santa Maria, the ship on which Columbus set out to discover America. Columbia operated this Herald (ex G-BFRJ) from 1984 until its bankruptcy in August 1986. A year later it was sold to Channel Express as G-CEXP, and in March 1996 it was wfu and put up for display on the visitor's terrace at London-Gatwick. It was removed from there in 2003, and by 2014 is sat derelict in a remote corner near the fire training area.

The third Herald built (in 1959), soon after arrival with BAF from Trans Brasil. There were only six Srs 100's made and fortunately this historically significant machine survives, appropriately preserved at Woodley where it was built

Looking good in Air UK's colours, before long the Herald would be supplanted by its Fokker rival. This one started as I-TIVU with Itavia, joined BIA in 12.73 and was dbr at Bournemouth 6.84

Seen prior to repaint in the new EAS livery, this Herald was acquired from Globe Air of Switzerland in 7.68 as F-OCLY. Registered G-SCTT to Channel Express in 8.88 and last flew on 19.1.97, being broken up at Bournemouth by 9.00 after doing time on the fire dump

Beautifully restored by the Herald Society and Museum of Berkshire Aviation, but very difficult to photograph due to the close fence - this shot, taken just before completion of red painting on top of wings, needed a tall ladder and a battle with some dense undergrowth full of brambles

There are dull and rainy days in Miami too... This former Air Anglia / British Air Ferries / Air UK Herald (ex G-BCWE) is starting its engines for the return flight to Guatemala. It had only flown with Aerovias for three years when it was stored at Guatemala City in 1991. It was still there in 2000 in very bad shape, and although unconfirmed, it seems likely that it was scrapped a few years later.
