Information from flickr - thanks to Chris (Heathrow Junkie):

G-AVYE c/n 2139 - Trident 1E - delivered new to Channel Airways in 1969, the airline becoming Northeast Airlines as of November 1970. Incorporated into the British Airways fleet six years later, the aircraft flew with BA for just five more years, before being withdrawn in April 1981. Although donated by BA to the Science Museum for preservation, the aircraft was further used for fire practice at BAe Hatfield, and was thus badly damaged.
