Photo Comment

After serving SAS/ABA and Air Outremer, this aircraft was bought by Air Kruise (Kent) in 1955, later wearing the colours of Silver City and BUA before joining the newly-formed Air Anglia in Nov 1971. She went to Skyways Cargo in Nov 1975 then Ethiopian Airlines as ET-AGR in Jul 1977 but was written off in an air raid at Jijiga, Ethiopia the next month.
