Photo Comment

Still showing its RAF Transport Command heritage, this Britannia was taken on charge as XM519 "Capella" in 2.60. One of two bought by Afrek in 1976 for cargo work and wfu early eighties but sold to Aerocaribbean as CU-T121 in 8.84. Broken up for spares by Trans Air Cargo of Zaire at Havana in 11.95, just too soon for me as I was there the next month
