Ex 42-24243, FL522, SAAF6810, ZS-DEF. Previously operated on the UK register by BEA and Cambrian Airways, it was acquired by Gibraltar Airways (trading as GibAir) 5th March 1963 and owned by that airline until 30th April 1970. GibAir used it mainly for services to Morocco and it was operating the Gibraltar-Tangier route when photographed. After C.of A. expiry 8th June 1973 it was WFU and finally scrapped at Lympne in August 1973. It was cancelled from the UK Register 5th December 1983 as PWFU.
