First flight at Belfast 3 Sep.1958. Entered service with Air Charter 1 Oct.1958, when it operated a trooping flight from Stansted to Christmas Island. Air Charter was eventually merged into British United Airways and nine days after this photo was taken, G-ANCE flew from Gatwick to Stansted on 18 Oct.1965 for ATL-99 freight door conversion by Aviation Traders, it being re-designated Britannia 307F. It was subsequently operated by Lloyd International and Monarch Airlnes until cancelled from the UK register on 21 May 1974, when it was acquired by Aer Turas as EI-BAA. It was scrapped May 1981.
