This was a well-travelled Viscount being originally delivered to TAA Trans Australia Airlines as VH-TVR in August 1959. Alas it was written-off in April 2003 operating for Trans IntAir as 9Q-CGL at Bondo (FZKP), DR Congo when it crashed into trees whilst attempting a 3-engine takeoff from a 900m gravel strip.
