Parked at what was Prestwick Terminal's freight area. Built as a passenger Vanguard in 1961 for BEA. Converted to a Merchantman freighter in 1969/70. Served with British Airways until 1979, entering service with Air Bridge Carriers in 1981. Its final owner was Hunting Cargo Airlines. It was donated on its retirement to Brooklands Museum where it arrived on 17 October 1996, making the world's last Vanguard flight. This photo is copyright © David A.
