The former F-BBDI of Air France became 5R-MAU with Air Madagascar in 11.65 then 5T-RIF with Air Mauritanie in 12.76. Prepared at Southend for a new career with Arax Airlines of Nigreria in 1.79, she is seen here after an emergency crash landing with wheels up after a test flight. Impounded and stored at Lagos, she was later scrapped there

This is as good a shot as it's possible to get of this nice exhibit, thanks to the wing of the adjacent Caribou. Originally 42-72261 and one of 17 Skymasters operated by the Spanish AF; 15 were still in use till 1976
