G-AYSI

Boeing 707-373C

18707/349

Britannia Airways

 

G-AYSI with Britannia Airways was reported at Riem on 22 January 1972 and 3 January 1973. I think the Britannia colours looked great on a B707. G-AYSI was later also seen at Riem with British Caledonian on 4 May 1976 and 29 June 1979.

 

Information from airliners.net - thanks to Ian Gains:

D/D 26/09/63 as N375WA to World Airways, she became G-AYSI with Britannia Airways 24/02/71. 04/73, she was leased to British Caledonian Airways. Sold to International Air Leases (IAL) 03/80 as N3751Y and leased to Tampa Colombia as HK-2401-X in April 1980. Sadly, she was written off on the 14/12/83 when she suffered engine failure on take off from Medellin, Colombia.
