Photo Comment

Served with Air-Sea Service from Switserland as HB-IMU until Sep 1980, and seen here still in their colours with titles, but with the Swiss Cross on the tail painted out. At the time of this photo the Convair was in storage at Miami under the ownership of Atlas Aircraft Corporation. It was sold to a Mexican operator May 81 as XB-CSE. Operated as XA-RYV with AeroCedros until the late 1990s, but broken up in the early 2000s.
