Re: 60th Anniversary!!
Thanks, Aharon.
I wasn't aware, but it's certainly an event worth celebrating, especially it's development of the blind landing system. Also, the Trident 3B was the only 4 engined (5 if you count the APU) tri-jet ever built.
I remember as a youngster, my Dad would occasionally take me to LHR for a day's spotting. It seemed like nine out of every ten arrivals were Tridents and I got bored of them. How I'd love to see one on approach today!

One of the most iconic of British Aircraft. Only a shame that we are no longer leaders in the field of aviation.

There was a time when I would have remembered this, thanks Aharon.
the Trident is probably my favourite Jet airliner.

You're right, Aharon - a birthday worth noting.
