München-Riem
February 1971
G-APEX
Vickers 806 Viscount
381
Northeast Airlines (initial colours still with BKS cheatline)
G-APEX with Northeast Airlines was noted at Riem on 27 February 1971, which is probably the precise date for this shot. This airframe had visited Riem before with BEA (photo from April 1968) and would return with British Air Ferries in June 1982.
Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding:
This aircraft was delivered to BEA British European Airways as G-APEX in Jun-58. It was sold to BKS Air Transport in Dec-69. BKS was renamed Northeast Airlines in Nov-70 when it became part of British Air Services. British Air Services was merged into British Airways in Apr-74. The aircraft continued in service with British Airways until it was sold to British Air Ferries in Mar-81. It was retired and stored at Southend, UK in Mar-84 and was broken up at Southend by 1994.
