Built 5th Sept.1944 as 42-72292 for USAAF. After various other civilian operators, Rhodesian Air Services acquired it as VP-YTY in January 1962. It eventually became TR-LNV with Affretair and was DBR when it crashed taking off from Uli airstrip, Nigeria on 28 June 1969 while taking part in the Biafran Airlift.
