Britannia Airways

 

Britannia Airways Bristol Britannias were regularly seen at Riem in the 1960s. Here, the aircraft is taxiing in to the field along the old viewing terrace after landing on runway 25. It wears the airline’s earlier livery.

 

G-ANBJ was later noted at Riem on 27 March and 6 June 1970. It had also been seen here on 19 January 1969 - along with three other Britannia Britannias on that day (G-ANBA, G-ANBF, G-ANBL), and on 9 February 1969 along with one BKS and four Britannia Britannias (G-ANBD, G-ANBE, G-ANBF, G-ANBL, G-ANBO).

Delivered new to BOAC British Overseas Airways Corporation in Nov-56 as G-ANBJ, it was wet-leased to Malayan Airlines from Feb/Mar-62 and again from Jun/Jul-62. It was stored at London-Heathrow in Nov-62 after just 6 years in service. It was leased to Britannia Airways (previously known as Euravia) in Apr-65 and they bought it in Jul-70. It was retired at Luton in Nov-70 and broken up there in Feb-71.
