Ex Air Resorts Intl but still in Cochise Airline cols. It had ferried from Wick (Scotland) to Malaga 17 Sep 2000. Neither the crew nor the owners could be contacted thereafter. In Mar 2006 the airport authority advertised that if it was not claimed within three months it would be seized. And Seized it was, at the end of May 2006. The airport authorities and donated to an aviation museum located next to the airport. It was repainted in Kar Air cols as OH-VKN in Oct 2009. This was in recognition that the actual Kar-Air OH-VKN was the 1st international flight into Malaga in 1959.
