Broken up at Southend in 1962. Image from the late Ron Roberts collection. The picture was taken after the aircraft had been converted by Samlesbury Engineering Co Ltd, based at Samlesbury Aerodrome near Blackburn in Lancashire whilst registered to Skyways Ltd, late in 1959. Converted from 68 seat to 78 seat configuration with three additional windows added each side forward of wing. Mr Rylands was majority shareholder of both companies at the time.
