Delivered new in 1958 and on 5 November 1970 it was wrecked when the nose-wheel collapsed landing at Corfu (LGKR). We only got to see the Olympic Comets on scheduled services, so this was a nice treat thanks to a charter flight carrying Scouts home from the 11th World Jamboree at Marathon, Greece.

"Isle of Kreta" served Olympic from December 1958 until badly damaged in a heavy landing at Corfu in November 1970 and was broken up. The Heathrow marshaller is waving his batons frantically to help park the 6B.
