The last surviving Ambassador is really starting to look superb after her recent repaint and refurbishment. This arframe was delivered to BEA in 1952 and sold to the Jordanian AF eight years later. In 1963 she was acquired by Dan-Air and donated to the Duxford Aviation Society in 1986.

This aircraft, delivered as BEA's fourth 'Elizabethan' in 12.51, was the penultimate survivor of the type until being broken up soon after this photo. Acquired by Decca Navigator in 11.63 after serving the King of Morocco as CN-MAK, she was sold to South Seas Airways in 11.71 to be ZK-DFC but this was not taken up and there she remained till the scrap man arrived

To compliment my flying shot of this aircraft - just a pity it wasn't a sunny day. Delivered to BEA 11.52, became '108' with the R Jordanian AF in 5.60 and to Dan-Air 2.63

The only survivor of the 23 of this iconic British type built, seen about a year before being withdrawn from service and preserved at Dan-Air's Lasham maintenance base. Moved to Duxford in 1986 after which long-term restoration commenced

Looking good but at the time still awaiting a few finishing touches to the markings on the tails. Some 45 years between my first and last shots of this aircraft on AirHistory.net!

This aircraft has been under restoration for a considerable time, mostly in a hangar so it was lucky to catch it outside and looking superb. On my first visit to Gatwick in 1969 a few of these were still in service and this is now the sole survivor of the 23 built
