A poor quality slide I found of this frame with its American reg. It was ex Aero Peru OB-R-1084 and VIASA YV-C-VIC prior to that. Acquired by TAC in Jun 1977 (i.e. the previous month). Re-reg G-BFHW in Mar 1978. Transfered to British Cargo Airlines Aug 1979. To LAC Colombia in Jun 80 as HK-2380X. Damaged beyond repair when it ran off the runway in heavy rain at Barranquilla (Colombia) 18 Sep 1984. Total time reported as 47762 hours.
