Hawker Siddeley HS-121 Trident 1E

Channel Airways

2136

 

G-AVYB is taxiing to Riem’s runway 25 for take-off. This Trident was noted here with Channel Airways several times in 1970 (15 February, 20 June, 14 July), and later with Northeast Airlines (25 March 1972, 18 August 1972) and British Airways (initially in basic Northeast colours, January 1975).

 

Information from flickr - thanks to heathrow junkie:

G-AVYB c/n 2136 - Trident 1E - delivered new to Channel Airways in March 1968, after just a couple of years the aircraft went to Northeast Airlines in November 1970. Incorporated into the British Airways fleet six years later, the aircraft flew with BA for just four more years, before being withdrawn in August 1980. Sadly, 'YB ended up being broken up in the BA maintenance area at London Heathrow in May 1981.
