Trident G-ARPB carried out the first Cat 3B landing at Heathrow (28L) on 4th Nov 1966

The first TriStar was delivered to Eastern Air Lines on April 26, 1972.

Have to hand it to the British, they did all the early development work toward autoland capability, something most have easily forgotten...or never knew.
