Photo Comment

Inspired by reading Martinair's early history in Propliner, I decided to squeeze what quality I could out of this slide, one of my first ever (and unfortunately not Kodachrome). A familiar sight at Southend after conversion from Cv-340 in 4.66, it's good to see she was still alive and well, stored by C&M Airways at El Paso as N640CM in the late 2000s
