What happened to the proposed sale of these aircraft to an American company which was to operate them as tankers. ?

Not sure we ever had them as BOAC aircraft, thought they were all introduced to “ BEA” when BEA. Paid Lockheed to remove , at great cost, the INS systems which were not required for short haul ops. Later they were used for long haul, when , guess what, INS was needed !


Or so the story went !
