Photo Comment

This DC-3 has just arrived for Ilford-Riverton Airways, having been operated by the short-lived Eden Air of Canada for only 10 months. The official c/n 33569 belonged to G-AMZA (ex KP267) broken up for spares in 1953. The true c/n is 9531 from FD879 in the RAF and later with the Pakistan AF. It is one of four sold by the PAF to a notorious US dealer who used the identity from G-AMZA as it was conveniently out of circulation. The give-away is that FD879 was shown as a previous ID instead of KP267.
