A few Ambassadors (All ex BEA) operated for a short while with ' Foreign Operators.'

Globe Air Switzerland - Period 1960-1963
G-ALMAF as HB-IEI (Reduced to Spares in Switzerland)
G-ALZS as HB-IEK
G-ALZZ as HB-IEL
G-ALZV as HB-IEM

These three Ambassadors eventually purchased by Autair from Handley Page who in turn was selling Heralds to Globe Air.








Incidentally prior to its time with Globe Air G-ALZZ was destined for service with Norronafly of Oslo as LN-BWF but the purchase was never taken up.
