Delivered new in 1955 and withdrawn from service in 1967. Took part in the Biafra Airlift in 1968, stored at Faro in 1969, used as a restaurant in mid 1980s, burned by vandals in 1999. (Not to be confused with the fake CS-TLA which is ex-Lufthansa.) This photo was added on 3 May 2021, and has since been viewed 1367 times. |
