Here’s another selection of scans, this time starting with some British Daks. I would welcome any help from the experts in pinning down rough dates for any of the images.
As usual, most are by the late Gerald Lawrance, scanned and made available by Tony Clarke.

More British Daks. These are some of the poorer images, but worth seeing for their rarity:
G-AHCU of BEA at Northolt 15-7-51, when viewing areas were rather different:
G-AJZD of British Nederland Airservices, location unknown but probably 1950:
G-AKJN became F-OAIG in 1951:
G-ALXN of BEA:
G-AMDZ with BEA:
G-AMDZ again, showing different tail markings:
G-AMNV of BEA:
G-AMPY of Starways:
G-AMSS of William Dempster, circa 1953:

Classic photos, thanks….British United was formed in 1960 giving an earliest limit to G-AMYX and G-ANTC which I think had come from Transair…..Gregory ( Denham) got G-AKJH from Derby Aviation in 1965 and its in Derby stripes so 1965?

MYX is definitely at Blackpool. The tower is unmistakeable!
