Photo Comment
Reportedly built for Slick Airways in 1957, but that fell through and TALOA took it on as a leaser. After Lufthansa it served with numerous carriers and was seen at Gatwick (EGKK) as CF-WWH with World Wide on 7 August 1965. Final resting place was Miami (KMIA) where it was withdrawn from use in 1977, per Photo ID 23172, then used as a fire trainer until scrapped in 2002.
