Last one was withdrawn in December 1970. Although G-ANBE and G-ANBL survived until 1972 before getting the chop, I doubt they would have been parked on the main apron during their idle months. "Halcyon Sky" was G-AXMG which arrived late December 1969. I remember a very heavy fall of snow on 4th March 1970 - around 14 inches - and suspect the picture may date from then.
This taken on 8th March when it had melted a little....
