129. G-AOVR Bristol 175 Britannia 312 British Eagle Intl Airlines LPL 14MAY65

Replacing an earlier scanned slide with a better version 01-Feb-15.

 

Named: "Talisman".

 

G-AOVR was delivered new to BOAC British Overseas Airways Corporation in Oct-58. It was leased to British Eagle International in Feb-65 and they bought it in Oct-66.

 

No sooner had they bought it, they sold it again the same month, to Air Spain as EC-WSJ. It was re-registered EC-BFJ in Nov-66.

 

The aircraft was sold to IAS Cargo in Apr-73, still as EC-BFJ, and withdrawn from use at Biggin Hill, Kent, UK. It was used for spares and was finally broken up in Aug-75.
