Photo Comment

The fifth Carvair conversion was registered G-AREK with Aviation Traders in November 1962, subsequently operating as N9757F, LX-IOG, F-BMHV, G-AREK and F-BYCL (Uni Air) by July 1977. Seen here just prior to delivery to Falcon Airways as as N83FA, it was leased to Kodiak Western in 1981, sold to Gifford Aviation in May 1982 and Custom Air Service in October 1985. Crashed at Griffin, GA on 4 April 1997
