Photo Comment

Built in 1956 and was supposed to be the first for BOAC, but went to Ghana Airways as 9G-AAH instead. Supposedly BOAC turned their noses up at this one as it had been used extensively as a trials aircraft. Later to British Eagle as a Britannia 319 then scrapped at Baginton (EGBE) in October 1971.
