Well I could have looked them up but dinner was ready

And not too bad from memory for >40 years ago. But since the thread mentioned G-ALZO, I should have got that one

And I forgot Autair in my list of operators - saw those at Luton

Not bad at all Ian

Did you used to see the Globe Air Ambassadors?

I would think they wer mainly Gatwick

I only ever saw three aircraft and each of those I only saw once...they were all Autair.

I've never even seen G-ALZO :sad:

Never seen any foreign registered Ambassadors :sad:

The Globe Air ones had been re-registered in the UK by the time I saw them.

This was G-ALZO when I last saw her - October 2005

Hi Eddie.

I think she had been like that for a while by then and the dust seems to support that and I mean years.........I don't think much if anything has happened since.

Would be nice to see her back in BEA livery as if it had not been for that airliners order for 20 at the expense of the early Viscount....the type would have gone no further that the prototype stage.
