Photo Comment

Originally delivered to Aer Lingus as EI-AJK in Feb 58. It went on to operate for a variety of carriers before being acquired by British World Airlines in Apr 93 who operated it on Royal Mail flights with this livery. Just over a month after this photo it was re-reg G-OPFE. Sadly it was damaged beyond economical repair in a wheels up landing at Belfast 24 Mar 96.
