This is Trident, the most beautiful jetliner flying to Europe. Built by Hawker Siddeley, powered by Rolls-Royce. It belongs to BEA, and to you. No. 1 in Europe.

These old commercials made TriJets and Jumbo Jets seem like they were gifts made in heaven

The first aircraft ever to be capable of a cat 3 autoland, wonderfully advanced. If you can remember what fogs used to be like it was needed too.

Lolz I love how they very obviously recorded the takeoff clip with an empty airplane - there's ample footage on KZfaq of the Gripper departing in operational service, and it's very anemic indeed. The 3B with the boost engine especially so. Still a beauty though.

That Trident is so nice but 1 thing that i dont like about the trident is that the nose landing gear is not in line

That's because the Trident had a very bulky and sophisticated set of avionics for its time. The extremely precise Category III ILS autoland equipment was also situated there, so Hawker Siddeley had no choice but to offset the nose gear to accommodate the large avionics bay.

Lovely plane the Trident 3....(even though it had four engines) Or as Pilots called it ..'The Gripper"....hence the fourth booster engine to get it off the runway !
