Currently "building" an old airfix model of a Trident (I'm no good at nintendo, and such like, and it's too hot to wear an anorak during a Texas summer).

I need to take some pix of the fresh paint job at LHR for reference, next time I'm "home".

Anyone remember those 'orrible yellow Tridents acquired from some carrier by BA who simply had the then "new" flag style tail paint job superimposed? Maybe Ayling was on to something. You know, stick out like a sore thumb etc.

I still laugh when I read the old salts suggesting the Trident only became airborne thanks to the fact that the earth is round.
