On This Day 24th February 2015.

G-AWZP, Hawker Siddeley HS121 Trident 3B (nose and forward fuselage only), British Airways, on display at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI), Manchester, 24th February 2015.
I started spotting just a few months after the last of these was retired by BritishAirways, so never saw any of these flying - most of the ones I saw were on fire dumps, or used as instructional airframes, or in museums, which I've always been a bit gutted about.
