                                     BOAC commenced its services to New York in 1946 with five ex USAAF C-69s.  G-AHEJ
                                     (named "Bristol") was the first and is seen here in the early 1950s at London Airport, having
                                     been newly white-topped.  Photograph by Jennifer Gradidge.  It was sold to Capital Airlines in
                                    1955, becoming N2740A.    It went back to the UK in 1961 to Falcon Airways and reverted
                                     (naturally) to being G-AHEJ again.   It was broken up in 1962.
