Delivered to Sabena as CV440-12 OO-SCM in 1956. To Frontier Airlines as N73161 in 1967 and converted to a CV580. To Frontier Commuter in 1983 then to Metroflight in American Eagle colours in 1984. Traded in to SAAB then to European Air Transport/DHL as OO-DHI in 1988. It was being converted to a freighter for them by Hamilton Aviation when this photo was taken. I could not positively ID it. It could be OO-DHH. Transferred to Swiftair as EC-899 and damaged beyond repair in a wheels up landing at Vitoria in 1995 This photo is copyright © Paul Seymour, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
