<p>c/n 2108.
Built 1964 and flew for British European Airways (BEA) until January 1974 when the merger with British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) created British Airways. Continued to operate with British Airways until retired and by 1982 was on display at the Cosford Aerospace Museum as part of the British Airways collection. When the collection was dissolved, a combination of corrosion and transport costs sadly meant that the Trident, along with Vickers VC10 ‘G-ARVM’ and Boeing 707 ‘G-APFJ’, were too expensive to save and in early 2006 they were broken up on site. While the fuselage of the VC10 is now at Brooklands, most of the other aircraft and remains, including the complete Viscount and BAC-111, moved to East Fortune. The Trident was reduced to just this cockpit section, which is now on display in Hangar 4 at the National Museum of Flight (part of National Museums Scotland).
East Fortune Airfield, East Lothian, Scotland.
