Photo Comment

Originally delivered to VASP as PP-SRF in 12.58, this beauty was bought by PLUNA in 11.75 and was preserved airside at one end of the terminal at MVD after withdrawal from service. Later moved and abandoned in another spot away from the terminal; condition increasingly poor but now fortunately saved by the Uruguayan Museum of Aeronautics for restoration in original colours. The livery seen here was current on B737s when the aircraft was put on display, but too late to actually have been carried by Viscounts in service
