Seen here under maintenance a couple of months before my departure shot of the same aircraft, this is the ill-fated Vanguard that crashed on approach to Basle on 10.4.73 while operating a charter; less than a third of the 145 occupants survived, mainly in the tail section This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
