What a time when planes were painted outdoors... I suspect the aircraft was repainted in Gambcrest colors. The aircraft crashed in Senegal on February 9, 1992. Here is the link to the accident report: https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/325596

This Convair was originally PP-YRD with REAL Transportes Aéreos (and Varig when merged in 1961). To Linjeflyg in 1962 and converted to a 440, the aircraft flew in the USA registered N96CF 1978 - 1986. Seen in basic Linjeflyg colors with Combs Freightair and General Aviation, it was registered to Canada West Air in August 1986. Stored at Tucson, AZ in 1989, it was stripped of paint and had World Wings titles added, but apparently never operated. The aircraft ended it's days in Mexico after registered XA-RSA in 1991.
