Photo Comment

Delivered new to Japan Air Lines in October 1954 as JA6206 and sold to Faucett of Peru as OB-R-827 in May 1966. Bought by Frigorifico Reyes in April 1981 and operated with them as CP-1651 until withdrawn and stored at La Paz. Although Fri-Reyes have long gone, the aircraft is still present on their former ramp at time of upload. It was somewhat optimistically advertised for sale at the end of 2021, without engines, for $50,000
