British Eagle Trooping Flight to Singapore 1965

I don't really expect a response to this memory of almost 52 years ago but PPRuNe has amazed me in the past so here goes. Today I started my New Year's Resolution of reducing the amount of memorabilia that I have collected but I got sidetracked by my diary for 1965.

As a newly qualified RN pilot, on Tuesday 31 August 1965 I flew on a British Eagle Britannia from Heathrow to Singapore to join HMS Ark Royal. The Flight Number was EGS 891 and we took off at 2145z.

As it was my first trooping flight I was wondering if anyone had a record of the Britannia's registration so I can see if the aircraft is in a museum somewhere.
