Good guess - and I can understand why - but unfortunately not a Britannia!

Given reference to center tank on gauges has to be American so DC6 or DC7?
Re: Visited an Old Lady a couple of days ago.....
It's got 4 engines, a nose wheel and is early 50s vintage - my guess is a DC-6 of Air Atlantique?

Re: Visited an Old Lady a couple of days ago.....
or is it an aircraft I was on board about 6 weeks ago - the North Weald C.54 Skymaster?

Re: Visited an Old Lady a couple of days ago.....
Sorry Chaps, all incorrect so far.....you'll be surprised though....any more guesses before I reveal more clues?
Re: Visited an Old Lady a couple of days ago.....
These three should give her away......
if all else fails, look closely at this one....

Will do !
To be honest, it looks like something older than a 707.

I agree - it does look old. I was in the Trident the other day as well - much the same. Seeing them both makes me feel a bit old as well!

I would never have got that - looks much older - 50's-ish

I also never thought of it being a jet!On the other hand it doesn't quite look 1940's design but it certainly looks worn
Always loved these with turbojet engines with"fins" at rear of them

Designed in the '50s ,
but speedbrake , park brake , throtts , start , flap , and gear levers all very nearly the same as the 10,000 737 delivered to SW days ago .
Don't re-invent the wheel , and if it ain't bust , don't fix it .
