One of three Viscounts originally ordered by Airwork, but sold to Cubana following objections from BOAC. Delivered in May 1956. Hijacked by pro-Castro rebels during an evening flight from Miami to Varadero on 1 November 1958. It was diverted to rebel-held territory in Holguín province but crashed as it ran out of fuel while the crew tried to land at the unlit Preston Airport (PST). Photo from: British Aerospace
