Photo dated 1955 by the source but this Viscount was built for MEA in 1957, and the titles indicate that the photo is from the 1960s. When this airframe returned from a lease to Jordan Airways in January 1964, MEA had taken over Air Liban and aircraft wore dual titles for a while. The Air Liban name was dropped in 1965. OD-ACU to Air Rhodesia in 1968 as VP-WAR. Broken up at Harare in 1986 with nearly 40,000 flying hours and 30,000 landings. Photo from: SFO Museum

There are other photos of this aircraft taken by the CO of 3 Squadron, RAAF. It was based at Riyaq (Rayak), Lebanon, immediately after the successful Syria-Lebanon campaign. The photo might also be at Baalbek, Lebanon, where the Australians captured 14 Vichy French aircraft although photos of some of those aircraft show extensive battle damage. This photo is an unusual find in the archives of a regional Australian museum. Photo from: Coffs Harbour Regional Museum

Photo taken by my father Algy Spurr circa Sep / Oct 1942 in WW2. This could be at Beirut, Lebanon. Lockheed Model 10-A Electra "Cloudy Joe" was RAF AX701 (former Aeroput YU-SBB). It was involved in Operation Pike to photograph the Iraq oil fields. The Electra served with 267 Sq in 1941-42, then with 680(PR) Sq in 1943-44 and suffered a main gear collapse on landing at Matariya, Egypt on 25 Aug 1944 during a test flight. It was withdrawn from use and eventually struck off charge on 22 Feb 1945.

This aircraft arrived in Lebanon in March 1978. After assembly at Beirut, it entered service with the French contingent in UNIFIL. To my knowledge, it departed the mission area in late May / early June that year.
