Built in 1954 as an L-1049D and was leased to BOAC as such in 1955/56. Reportedly named Frankfurt Airtrader but no sign of that here. After flying with Capitol Airways and in Argentina it was acquired for the Biafra Airlift as 5T-TAC and blown up on the ground at GGOV in Guinea-Bissau on 5 June 1968.
