Photographer not known. Alidair made only limited use of this machine and never put it onto the UK register. Its livery remained essentially unchanged from its days with Tenneco in the USA. Note also that it is fitted with additional external "slipper" fuel tanks. It was disposed of to Far Eastern Air Transport in 1976. Sadly, it crashed in Indonesia on 26 August 1980 while on lease to Bouraq Airlines, with the loss of 31 lives. The accident was attributed to separation of the right elevator and consequent loss of control. This photo was added on 29 August 2022, and has since been viewed 271 times. |
