B.377 Stratocruiser G-AKGK

"Canopus" G-AKGK was also used by Winston Churchill for a return trip to Bermuda for a Summit Conference in December 1953 and a trip to Washington in June 1954 when he returned by sea.

His first scheduled Stratocruiser flight was to have been made in January 1953 from Jamaice to Idlewild but the Stratocruiser fleet had recently been grounded. He travelled by B.O.A.C. Constellation instead.
