Photo Comment

Built in 1955 and leased to Kuwait Airways as G-APPX in November 1958, so may have been en route from the Caribbean here. Sold to Bahamas Airways as VP-BBV in 1961 then restored in 1968, ending its days with Air International as here . Scrapped at East Midlands (EGNX) in 1977. Note the original operator was not BWIA International as published elsewhere.
