Trident Tested
A British Airways Trident Two (G-AVFN) stands at Heathrow's maintenance apron in the early 1980s, undergoing testing. Note the angled tailplane - a characteristic of these classic planes, whereas more modern craft just use elevators rather than moving the whole surface. My first flight was on a Trident Three, coincidentally just weeks before they were all withdrawn.
