This 1944 vintage crashed a year later on 13 December 1983 when the right engine failed after takeoff from Manila. The crew attempted an emergency landing in a field which resulted in a write off, but all 10 occupants escaped with only minor injuries - Canon A1 with FD 80-200mm F/4 SSC Zoom Lens loaded with Kodachrome 64 This photo is copyright © Peter Steinemann - Skyline APA, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
