Vickers 952 Vanguard

Europe Aero Service (EAS)

 

F-BTOV has reached its parking positions, propellers still turning. This Vanguard was noted at Riem in September 1972, September 1974, January 1975 as well as January and February 1976. Note the Monarch Airlines Britannia parked in the distance.

 

Information from airliners.net - thanks to Richard Vandervord:

First flying on 6.6.1962, this Vanguard takes the honour of being both the last of 44 to be built and the last to perform a passenger service, in late October 1987 (Jakarta-Medan-Jakarta). Firstly CF-TKW with TCA and sold by Air Canada to EAS as F-BTOV 4.1972, operating their final Vanguard pax flight Orly-Perpignan on 8.1.1981; to Merpati Nusantara Airlines as PK-MVH in May that year. Sold back to EAS for spares and ferried to PGF 12.1987. Remains apparently moved to a location in the Pyrenees near Spanish border for use as a rescue trainer (presumably scrapped by now).
