Ex British Eagle 1-11's

[Deleted]

Just come across this photo of two preserved British Eagle 1-11's.
Nearest to the camera is G-ATVH with G-ATTP in the background. Also at this location was G-ATPL but sadly nolonger as she was sold to a training centre (see echofoxtrot's post below). All three operated for British Eagle and Dan Air.

Hello ste-t,
Just to say the the One Eleven G-ATPL is no longer at the museum. Some years ago it was transported to Requinoa Chile for use by the Training Centre of Disaster and Accident. There is a film clip of the transfer event on the Home of Eagle website under Film Clips. A sad way for such a lady to go. I don't expect much is left now.

What a sad end for her. Seems strange that the museum allowed that to happen but I suppose it must have needed the money or space for other projects. Would have been great if they painted one in British Eagle colours, the second in Dan Air, and the third in Línea Aérea Del Cobre (Ladeco). I've amended the above post. Thanks for letting me know.
