Photo 62 of 96, The Whispering Giant 2 / 2017

This beautiful Britannia was delivered to Transcontinental on December 16, 1959, and operated from Buenos Aires to New York through 1961, when the airline was grounded. It went to British Eagle in 1964 as G ANCF. Upon the demise of British Eagle in 1968, it was delivered to Monarch which operated it until sold to Invicta in January of 1977. Its final flight upon the death of Invicta was on 30 October 1980. This is the aircraft shown on the Invicta card.
The image is a Bristol Aeroplane photo, but was apparently never used on a postcard. It is interesting that Transglobe adopted The T logo used by Transcontinental.
