Photo Comment

Olympic received 10 YS-11s in 1970/71 for inter-island and regional work. Six of them were transferred to the Hellenic AF for transport duties in 1981, all being camouflaged except this one (ex SX-BBI) which was used as a calibrator aircraft. Although the others have long since been withdrawn, 2143 is still active with the 356 MTM based at Elefsis
