Previously CS-TLC of Transportes Aereo Portugueses (TAP). Arrived at Luqa on 16 February 1968, at the time owned by North American Trading Company (Hank Wharton), and was impounded by the authorities for having the fake registration 5T-TAF. Remained at Luqa till the end of 1972 when it was sold by auction for conversion into a bar/restaurant. In this photo it is seen at a temporary location outside the village of Kirkop before being moved to a nearby field which was to become its final home until its destruction by fire on 30 January 1997.
