4X-AGB  Bristol 175 Britannia 313                     (c/n  13233)

                              

                                     I often wondered why El Al didn't paint the registration forward of the rear blue cheat line tail
                                     flared treatment, on the bare metal.  On this image the rego is barely discernible.  4X-AGB
                                     was sold to Air Spain in 1967 and wound up as a freighter with IAS Cargo Airlines as EC-BFL.  
                                     The Britannia turned out to be an excellent freighter and was, of course, the basis for the design
                                     of the highly successful, and pure freight, Canadair CL-44.
