Photo Comment

Still in BEA colours. Delivered to Cyprus Airways as 5B-DAA in 1969. Damaged in a landing accident at Nicosia in 1972 After extensive repairs it went to BEA as G-AZXM later in 1972. It had been replaced by 5B-DAC ex-G-AVFB. It is reported to have flown one wing down and performed better than any other Trident in the fleet. BEA merged into British Airways in 1974. It was scrapped at Southend in 1985.
