N7777G was parked at Coventry from 17 January to 7 March 1974, when it flew to Dublin and then to Tripoli on a cattle charter. On return to Dublin on March 10th it experienced a problem with the No. 3 engine and never flew again. (Most subsequent photos show it with the No. 3 prop removed.) In summer 1983 it was dismantled for transport to Wroughton for the Science Museum collection; it was reassembled there and painted into TWA livery. (Photographer not known.)
