Carvair No.13 G-ASKN, which had been sold to Société Anonyme de Construction (SOACO) the previous day and had its BAF titles painted over, seen here preparing for departure to Libreville, Gabon later the same day. It was only operated by SOACO for 5 months, making its last ever flight to Brazzaville, Congo on 8th December 1976. It was sold to Aero Service (AFRIGO) but scrapped at Brazzaville in 1986 due to lack of spare parts.
