In store, ex-RAF. To Airline Engineering as EI-BDC in April 1977. It operated various lease periods with Aer Turas and Cyprus Airways before being sold to Eurafric in January 1978. Moving to Redcoat Air Cargo as G-BRAC in June 1978, it sadly crashed after take-off from Boston-Logan on 16th February 1980 due to ice accumulation and windshear. Pre-flight weather briefing was judged inadequate. This photo is copyright © Terry Dann, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
