K25 slide scan. Built 1961 as N9746C for Western, converted to Freighter 1969. International Jetair CF-IJJ 1971. Nordic LN-MOI 1972, Fred Olsen LN-FOH 1973, leased to Air de Cologne during 1988, Amerer Air OE-ILA 1997, Buffalo Airways C-GLBA 2007. A bank holiday daystop was the one and only occasion the Electra would be seen during daylight, night shots being impossible for obvious reasons. Note the "Chartered from A/S Fred. Olsens Flyselskap" titles on the nose. The flight engineer had turned propellers straight for the daystop which was standard procedure with some carriers.
