This beuatiful plane was originally delivered to Qantas in September 1959 as VH-EBG and from January 1969 flew with Laker as G-AWDG. It was sold to the USA in November 1978 as N600JJ and going on to fly with Skyways International, later becoming N707SK. In 1998 the plane became President Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo's personal transport and is pictured during a two-year maintenance and overhaul visit to KMIA. It appears not to have flown since 2016 but is reported to be intact and parked at Kinshasa (FZAA). This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
