Photo Comment

Reminding me of the regular visits by the Calie Brits to Southend for ATEL, this one looks as though it's straining to make one final take-off. First flight was on the last day of 1956 as a series 311; converted to 312 (later to 319) and to BOAC 7 months later. Became 9G-AAH with Ghana Airways 11.60 then to British Eagle 1.64; leased by Caledonian 3.69 and reduced to spares by 10.71
