Photo Comment

Paint scheme was yellow and brown separated by a white stripe. Became CF-TAG with Transair later in the month, then leased to Aer Turas as EI-AVJ for one year from November 1971. Then to SAFE Air as ZK-SAF in October 1973 and wrecked when a main landing gear failed at Wellington (NZWN) on 1 April 1990. (Having moved to Winnipeg two weeks prior, the last thing I expected to see was an ex-BEA Argosy.)
