That particular aircraft F-WWDA was the second prototype. If I remember rightly, it had the BCAL colour scheme on one side and Air France on the other.
That particular aircraft was eventually delivered to Air France as F-GFKQ in February 1991 which was almost 4 years after it first flew.

The aircraft that was meant to be BCAL’s first aircraft was delivered on 31 March 1988 but BA didn’t merge with BCAL until 14 April 1988. The registration G-BRSA was allocated for it but wasn’t taken up. It was registered G-BUSB instead. Despite the gap between the delivery of this aircraft and the take-over of BCAL by BA, I don’t think that it ever flew in BCAL colours.

I hope this helps.

It get’s better! Anyone have info on the Lancastrian?

I haven’t a lot of info on the Lancastrian. But G-AGME was originally built for the RAF as a Lancastrian I with the serial number VF156 and the c/n of 1185, however it was originally ordered as a Lancaster with the serial number of PD156. It either went to or was registered with BOAC on 3 July 1945 and was named “Newhaven”. It was scrapped at Hurn in January 1950.

Hope this helps.
