Information from flickr - thanks to Peter Brown:

Built in 1962, G-BCWE was the first of three Heralds to join the fleet from Canadian airline Eastern Provincial, arriving at Southend as CF-EPI on 28 January 1975. On 1 January 1979, all BAF’s scheduled services were transferred to British Island Airways with the Heralds flown on a lease basis. Whiskey Echo was later leased to Air UK and Trans Azur Aviation. After a long period standing idle and minus engines on the north apron at SEN, she was restored to service in early 1985 in BAF livery and was leased on a monthly basis to Air Anglia. In 1987 she was purchased by Mike Keegan’s General Aviation Spares and was stored prior to sale as TG-ASA to Aerovias SA, Guatemala, in April 1988, and was withdrawn from use in 1991. She was broken up in Guatemala c2002.
