Photo Comment

On 8 December 2003 this actress left home for a lead role in the remade movie "Flight of the Phoenix". The trip would take her around the Atlantic Ocean, routing to Africa via the Canary Islands and returning in June 2004 via Brazil. She came back with fantasy registration H0180-H and 'XXExpress' titles and logo and was still wearing these in 2005. Temporarily parked in the Greybull museum but ready for duty, this bird was then for sale. [Velvia, F100]
