Photo Comment
Delivered new in early 1958 and named St. Columban. Withdrawn from use at Dublin (EIDW) in 1969 and scrapped in 1972. A nice foggy London day with the usual Alitalia Caravelle flight replaced by a DC-7 behind. Some of the older prop-liners didn't have ILS so it was interesting to listen to the VHF radio patter of GCA (Ground Controlled Approach) being conducted in low visibility.
