Third ever flown MD-12. First flight 21-Jul-1962. The first prototype (SP-PAL) was lost during a test flight in September 1963. Another prototype (SP-PBD) that underwent trials with LOT on the Warsaw-Rzeszów route in September 1961 was scrapped around 1967. All that remains is this aerial survey version prototype which has glazed nose and increased wing span compared earlier prototypes.
