The sound of 4 Merlins! This aircraft called in again on the 31st October en route to Gatwick which must have been it's last revenue earning service. As a matter of interest one of the "lads" managed to get a free seat on this a/c so as to get back to the UK. On returning after his "leave" he told us that as the a/c was taxiing around the perimeter track, it ran out of fuel! Whether it was a 'line shoot' or not I will never know. Or perhaps there is someone out there that can confirm this story...............!? To Castle Donington for spares use by British Midland.

This a/c was reportedly DBR on 2nd November 1964 when it's nose wheel collapsed after overunning the R/W at Damascus A/P. However here it is 13 months later looking in excellent condition! Interesting..........! Last heard of as being in an amusement park in Aleppo, Syria. Originally d/d to the USAF as 41-37310
