The Australian DCA operated three Friendships from 1959 to the mid-1970s on calibration and general duties. VH-TFE is seen here in storage prior to being sold to Air Anglia as G-SPUD. The aircraft followed into Air UK. When Air UK and British Midland established Manx Airlines in 1982, it was registered G-OMAN and flew from the Isle of Man until 1984 before returned to Air UK as G-BLFJ. She was broken up at Norwich in late 1996. This photo was added on 14 January 2021, and has since been viewed 275 times. |
