K25 slide scan. Ordered by Kuwait as 9K-ACI but not taken up. Delivered as G-ATPJ to British Eagle 1966. Appeared in KLM and Swissair colours to cover delayed DC-9 deliveries in 1967/1968. After British Eagles's demise became one of the longest serving aircraft of Dan Air in 1970. To Ladeco 1990, withdrawn 1994, initially preserved at Los Cerillos but later used as a police trainer. Many older airliners in the late 70's and 80's were not capable of CAT II or III approaches and were often involved in weather diversions during the winter months, seen here on such an occasion.
