PH-DCU was delivered to KLM in 2.66 and sold as N29553 in 2.83 to United Air Leasing, later flying for TAAT amongst others. To Arax 11.85 but w/o at Cairo on 1.4.88 on departure for Sharjah when an engine caught fire on the second take-off attempt, crashing at the runway end. 53,176 hours logged. Sad to relate that plans to preserve former sister-ship PH-DCZ at the Aviodrome came to nothing, the aircraft being scrapped as 9G-MKA at Manston This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
