Imported from Ariana Afghan Airlines (ex YA-AAC) and still in their basic livery, this DC-3 operated with Lambair until sold to Perimeter Airlines in October 1982. I worked with a WW-II veteran who flew these with Ariana on Hadj flights during the 1950s. He said the worst part was the hill tribesmen setting up braziers in the aisle to cook lunch.
