G-APME

De Havilland D.H. 106 Comet 4B

6436

Dan-Air London

 

G-APME with Dan-Air London was first seen at Riem on 11 August 1972 (maybe the precise date for this photo) and returned in 1975 (probably there were more visits). The airframe had been noted here before with BEA on 6 August 1966 and 22 December 1966 (dates from Klaus Held’s Riem chronicle).

 

Information from airhistory.net - thanks to Paul Seymour:

Delivered to BEA as G-APME in 1960. To BEA Airtours in 1970 and Dan-Air in 1972. Withdrawn from use at Lasham in 1978 and scrapped in 1979.
