Delivered new in December 1959 and scrapped at EGLL in July 1972. The thing that stands out in this view is how the fuselage frames are telegraphing through the skin. Maybe a function of being unpressurized with the weight off the nose wheel? I flew on one of these once from EBBR to EGLL. Quite the hot-rod!
