De Havilland 121 (Hawker Siddeley) Trident 2 G-AVFB

            Seen in BEA's excellent colour scheme of the 1960's is the classic British airliner, the Hawker Siddeley Trident. This was the mark 2 version. 
This aircraft's sales potential was crippled due to dithering by BEA over its specifications, and constant changing of its mind. The original idea for the Trident was much akin to how the 727 looked. So it should have been much bigger really. By the time BEA realised this with the Tridents 2 & 3, the opportunity for extra sales had been lost. 
In the end the aircraft was powered by the trusty old Spey engines. It was going to be powered by the more powerful Medway, but this engine was pulled when BEA decided to eventually go for the smaller aeroplane we see here!
