Photo Comment

Originally N6260C "Clipper Westwind" with Pan American, it was once familiar as YA-DAO with Ariana Afghan Airlines on its weekly trips to Gatwick, and later as HR-TNQ at Miami with TAN Airlines. Sadly, its career ended in 1983 when it was impounded for smuggling at Great Inagua in the Bahamas.
