Evening scene in front of the cargo shed at East Midlands. Delivered to Shell Refining and Marketing on 15 Mar 1955 as G-ANUO. To British Nuclear Power Group 22 Mar 1971. To General Electric Co 02 Feb 1981. To Topflight Aviation 15 Sep 1983. WFU and stored 1986. Currently preserved outside the former Croydon airport terminal building painted as G-AOXL.

It was moved to the Croydon Airport Visitor Centre and resides outside the entrance mounted on poles and painted as Morton Air Services as G-AOXL (info valid to 2020). I actually saw the genuine G-AOXL as Morton Air Services at London Gatwick 1 Sep 65.

This Heron is the former G-ANUO, which was last operated by Topflight and Avtech in the 1980s and 1990s. Its registration was cancelled from the register on 8 Aug 1996, and a few months later, in Nov 1996, it was placed on display as seen here, in front of the former Croydon Airport's terminal building. It is falsely painted as G-AOXL of Morton Air Services, the last aircraft to make a passenger flight from Croydon Airport on 30 Oct 1959. By late 2020 the aircraft was still on display here in much the same condition. The real G-AOXL was sold to Norway in 1971.

G-ANUO was withdrawn from use in 1996. Shell logo on forward fuselage.
