Photo Comment

Delivered as DHC-5D c/n 95 to the Oman Police in May 1979. Back to Canada in June 1994 and retrofitted to civil standards (-5A model). Was allocated revised c/n 95A. Then based in Mauritius, Kenya and the DR Congo until ferried back again, via Rotterdam among other stops, in Spring 2005. To Arctic Sunwest Charters after that, merging into Summit Air in May 2013 retaining the previous colours. Left for Africa again in August 2015, flying for the UN in Malawi.
