I have some vague recollection of reading a reasonably detailed account of the saga. It was either in an issue of the modern Aeroplane magazine, or the National Museum of Australia’s website. But beyond that, I really don’t recall.

HTH!

Richard Ridings obit for A J Jackson in an early 1983 Aeroplane doesn’t mention the Percival wrangle either…

Autocrat…BEA were still using DC-3s in 1956 so its unlikely you’ll be able to pin down which ones you saw. Attached is one I photographed by the tunnel exit in the Central area by the ground public enclosure ca. 1956 (1st camera, maybe 1st roll of film)

PIA in the 70s

Couple of ancient shots from LHR in the 70s….5-engined 747s weren’t rare but always welcome!

Re BA World Colours Tails, those who don’t approve should have a hankerchief ready 🙂

Fuselage Heston 1950s

Air Britain abix message #70456 notes Black Widow 25496 delivered to Heston ca. 23May45 shipped back to US July 47
The nose of crashed Comet 1 G-ALYZ passed through Heston about 1953 ending up laying on Heathrow for some years.
My extremely unreliable memory of the Sea Eagle fuselage is that it was laying near Aerodrome Way on the Cranford Lane side of the Tower

Edgar Percival Gull

A few years ago John Hopton sent me these b&w photos of Edgar Percival landing a Gull in Australia (1976) (Joe Drage photographer) and a colour photo of Percival (LH) with John’s brother (perhaps ca.1980). Unfortunately I’ve lost touch with John( computer disasters etc.)

Heston Post-War

[QUOTE.

Perhaps I could extend the query and ask if anyone has any reminiscences to share about the final years 1945-47 of Heston? Its heyday is quite well documented, but I am intrigued by the process of its decline into gravel pits and motorway service area.[/QUOTE]

You might like the thread Heston Airport Fly-in on this forum….Flight global photo archives have shots of Heston about 1947 taken from a Sikorsky
