Flughjalp (Aid by Air in Icelandic) was established by Loftleiðir in support of the Biafran Air Bridge. The aircraft were leased by Nordchurchaid, the Nordic churches joint relief operation and part of Joint Church Aid. This particular DC-6 first flew in 1952 and was delivered to ARAMCO as N709A in September 1952. To Transair Sweden as SE-BDZ in August 1961, then Boreas as N948BC in July 1965 and Transavia a year later as PH-TRC. Flughjálp bought the airliner while it was on lease to Joint Church Aid in June 1969. When the Biafran War was over, it went to the Peruvian Air Force as FAP-378. Photographer unknown
