Didn't know that .18 is still BEA , I just checked the list of Boeing codes , never been reallocated which is surprising . Do you think it could been for the 737s ? They were after those around the time BAC came up with the 1-11 -500 and again stamped on anything not British for BEA by the Govt. Finally found this info on AirlinerCafe; British European Airways Corporation - BEA had an option on 20 - 25 727-200s, allocated the Boeing code 18. This option was taken after the demise of the BAC 2-11 project, and BEA was refused the export currency to proceed with the 727 order. A replacement order in 1968 resulted in something called a Trident 3B Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff just gets lost in time, news lasts one day etc.(2-11 cancelled and allowed to drift off without noise ) and sometimes people's experience at the time . I Wonder if theres anything in my 68 sets of Air Pictorials , A/c Illustrated etc. Just in case ,thought I'd read the wikiP page ( I know but ) on the Trident 3B and ..It's on there ! Trident and 1-11 versus 727 and 737 in 1965. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger350Pilot Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Very beautiful! A very nice kit nicely done! Congratulations! I really like it when someone takes on a project that isn't seen often, if at all, and does it in such a unique livery! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
