Not that many places you can see two Tridents together these days. Do not adjust your set, this aircraft really is lying at an angle. Acquired by the museum from the small village of Palnackie, west of Dumfries where it had lain since 2003 is in poor shape and is badly in need of restoration. The aircraft made its last flight to Glasgow airport in 1983 and was used for apron handling exercises and fire fighting training. It has been rumoured that G-ARPP was the first Trident to make an automatic landing at Heathrow on 16 May 1967.
