An ill-fated aircraft: G-APEE crashed at Heathrow in fog on 27 October 1965, with the loss of all 36 people on board. The aircraft was on its third approach to land and crashed on runway 28R after the pilots became disorientated during an attempted go-around. The two other Vanguards in shot are most likely series 953s, as they have a larger BEA "red square" on the fin, this having become the standard style, while near the hangars, as well as an unidentified DC-8, two British Eagle DC-6As can be seen. (Photographer not known.)

Delivered in January 1961 and scrapped at EGLL in May 1973. So common at Heathrow in the early 1960s it was possible to 'clear' the whole BEA fleet in one or two visits. So reviled by teenage spotters that the name Vanguard became a synonym for anything "slack". They were actually quite an impressive sight with the four Tynes driving 14.5 ft. (4.42 m) diameter propellers.
