It's August, 1964 and it looks like evey seat is occupied on this 85-minute flight from LHR to GLA. BEA's 135-passenger 953s were all Y configured and this mid-cabin seated 77. A view out of the big 26 by 19 inch windows revealed red painted wings. Listen carefully, maybe you can even hear the Beatles singing "A Hard Day's Night" over the thrum of those big 17-foot props. - Photo taken at In Flight in England, United Kingdom in August, 1964.

One of my all time favourite photos... Replacing an earlier scanned slide with a better version 24-Mar-15, plus Topaz DeNoise AI 14-Apr-23. Delivered to BEA British European Airways as G-APED in Jan-61, it only operated for 12 years until it was retired at London-Heathrow in Jan-73. It was broken up there in May-73.

Timetable: British European Airways (BEA), international service is an object and its permanent ID is 1762681971.
