München-Riem
ca. July 1970
G-ANBL
Bristol 175 Britannia 102

Britannia Airways
G-ANBL was last noted at Riem on 11 July 1970, which may well be the date of this shot. Six days before, on 5 July 1970, she had been seen at Riem with Southern Cross International - if the dates are correct, she would have acquired a blue cheatline instead of an orange one within six days. There are two sources for the Southern Cross sighting, airborne magazine and Aviation Letter, so I guess that date is correct at least.
In the late 1960s, there were sometimes up to five Britannia Airways Britannias at the airport on the same day:
1 January 1968: G-ANBE, G-ANBL
19 January 1969: G-ANBA, G-ANBF, G-ANBJ, G-ANBL
9 February 1969: G-ANBE, G-ANBF, G-ANBJ, G-ANBL, G-ANBO plus G-ANBD (BKS Air Transport)
3 April 1969: G-ANBF, G-ANBI, G-ANBL
Information from airhistory.net - thanks to Richard Vandervord:
G-ANBL was received by BOAC on 2 March 1957 and was leased by Britannia Airways from June 1965 (following a lease to East African Airways in 1962). Sub-leased to Southern Cross just for a month in summer 1970 and returned to Britannia who then purchased her but b/u at Luton in July 1972 after 18 months' storage.
