Photo Comment

A former Haiti Air Freight DC-6 found in the Argentinian UN-Aviation compound at Port-au-Prince, where it served as a club house for military personnel deployed to Haiti with the UN (MINUSTAH). It was called the Bandi 2 Club. Argentinian technicians went to great lenghts to get three out of four engines running, illustrating the good shape of the aircraft! The aircraft was still there by mid 2023, but by then in very poor condition.
