This YS-11A was brought from Aruba by barge to Curacao, to find a new home near Mambo Beach as a home for gamers. A short-lived plan so it seems, as the aircraft was soon found derelict.

After seeing it arrive a few weeks before, I encountered this YS-11A again, near Mambo Beach Curacao. The owner told me he was planning to turn it into a gamer's home, although it seems the plans were eventually abandoned, as was the aircraft...
