Probably off on another race horse charter. I have flown on this aircraft from LTN when I worked for Air Bridge with horses to Beauvais and Malpensa. Delivered to BEA - British European Airways on 24 Jan 1962 and called Swiftsure. Converted from a Vanguard to a Merchantman Apr 1970. Merged into British Airways on 1 Apr 1974. Sold to Air Bridge Carriers on 25 Nov 1976. Renamed Hunting Cargo Airlines on 15 Aug 1992. WFU and stored at East Midlands Feb 1995. Later broken up, nose section preserved.

K25 slide scan. Aircraft with a well documented history. Night time tripod photography with a daylight Kodachchrome being tricky enough, vibrations from four Tynes usually would render most of the images useless. An ideal moment would be with all four engines running smoothly in idle just before brake away thrust was applied. Exposure time was 3 to 9 seconds, depending on aperture and apron lighting intensity.
