Photo Comment
Delivered new in 1958 and served until 1962 when it went to Caledonian Airways as G-ARYE (1962-66), then Sudflug as D-ABAR (1966-68) after which it took up the registration 5T-TAR for Biafra airlift work. The Nigeria Air Force destroyed it in an air raid in October 1968. [A nice time-exposure shot, here taken at twilight with the ramp floods giving illumination and the glow of cabin lighting clearly visible. Luckily nothing or nobody moved to mar the photo, as happened with others.] This photo was added on 7 September 2021, and has since been viewed 411 times.
