Bonus Photo of the Day 3rd July 2026.

Side view of a rather dilapidated, bare metal, 4 propellor-engined airliner (with the engines removed!) lying on blocks on the floor. The nose-wheel is slightly dropped down, and resting on another block. The metal fuselage appears to be torn around the wing root, probably where the wing was removed to transport it here. The frame around the cockpit windows appears to have been painted white, which looks a bit odd with the rest of it being in a bare metal finish. Fluffy grey and white clouds fill most of the frame behind.

G-ANCF, Bristol Britannia Series 308F, previously of Invicta International, looking a bit sorry for itself in the car park behind the Crowne Plaza hotel at Liverpool John Lennon airport, 11th march 2025.

This a long-term restoration project, and it is planned to eventually put it back on it’s feet, in British Eagle colours.

For now, however, it isn’t looking too happy.
