BAC Trident1C G-ARPP

Does anyone have or know where I can find a recent picture of this aircraft?She’s been used for ground handling training at Glasgow airport for some 10-15 years.Although she has recieved a respray quite recently,her condition is said to be deteriorating.She’s one of only three remaining Trident1’s,and it would be shame to see her succumb to a scrapper’s axe.
Pics of her in her service days would also be welcome. 🙂

RE: BAC Trident1C G-ARPP

Thanks for all your efforts folks,some nice piccies 😀 Interestingly, one of them also shows Trident 3B G-AYVF.All of BEA’s Trident 3’s were registered in sequence,from G-AWYZ to G-AWZZ,except G-AYVF.It had origianlly been allocated the reggie G-AWZY,but was changed before the aircraft entered service.Can anyone think why they would want to do this??It seems a very odd thing to do as there was nothing else unusual about the aircraft.It wasn’t a prototype or a trials aircraft of any kind.

Thanks again for the pictures folks,keep em coming…:)
