Photo Comment

Delivered on 7 June 1960 and operated until 1979. Scrapped at Houston (KHOU) in 1990 while N59RD with Blue Air. The registration is not visible and we only have the photographer's word, however the aircraft was reportedly leased to BOAC at some point so it may have been here on a training flight or North Atlantic stopover. I don't believe Varig came to the UK in their own right until 1967.
