After laying derelict with all useful parts removed it was scrapped in about October 1964

I know of no colour photos

All based on an old die cast model I remember as a kid, a photo of a model at Brooklands, descriptions of the livery and a friend who is involved with the Vanguard at Brooklands speaking to others there and who were involved with the programme.

Vickers described the wings and fuse as Duck Egg Blue but all the indications are than it was a little bluer than DEB which is quite greenish at times.

The blue and gold are the standard Vickers house colours

The is talk but no pics that G-AOYW was painted in the BEA peony livery but it was certainly rolled out as above.

Perhaps the BEA livery which changed at that time was over painted which would account for the style and then fully painted in the Vickers livery

G-APEA did were the peony for a short time before going on tour with a modified BEA scheme.

My research also comes to the conclusion that G-AOYW never went anywhere. G-APEB did the Farnborough in the new Red Square and G-APEA went off rout proving and sale touring in BEA Peony and modded Peony.

Funnt thing was the BAe 146-300 that was to have them and the prototype at least had them but it was quietly dropped

Th Q400 does have the piped system to cancel the noise out

As to the last Guernsey…not exactly selling well.

The flight left with only 18 seats sold
