German-built in 1957, formerly KA+148, AS+577 then 53+18 of the Luftwaffe. Sold to Aero Taxis Ecuatorianos SA (ATESA). Seen here on delivery to Ecuador, refuelling at Prestwick's Main Terminal before heading transatlantic. Written off in July 1980 in a sadly fatal accident when it crashed while attempting to land at Shell Mera-Río Amazonas, Pastazo, Ecuador, with both crew being killed.
