Photo Comment
Note the composition of the flags on the tail. The flag of the country of registration is on the top, in this case Kenya. This is the former VP-KJU from the pre-independence EAAC. She served until written off as 5Y-AAF 27 August 1975 when the landing gear collapsed at Mtwara in south-eastern Tanzania.
