The Hermes 4 entered BOAC service in 1950 and proving flights on the West Africa route to Kano, Lagos and Accra began in June. The type was already replaced two years later by the Canadair C-4 Argonaut, although it made a brief comeback with BOAC in 1954 after the grounding of the DH Comet. We made a different crop of the same original photo for the West African Airways Corporation Dove, VR-NIB. Photo by: Edward Duckworth / Northwestern University Libraries, Illinois

The fuselage of this former BOAC, Airwork, Falcon and Silver City Airways Hermes was a familiar part of the Gatwick scenery for many years. Rescued from the scrap man in 1962, it was used as a cabin trainer by British United, Caledonian//BUA and British Caledonian until presented to the British Airports Authority at Gatwick in 1976 for use as a smoke evacuation trainer. Moved to Duxford in 1981 and restored over many years, it has been displayed since 2006 in its original BOAC colours as part of the British Airliner Collection.
