Photo Comment

Photographed outside the old General Aviation Terminal at Gatwick. The aircraft was re-registered as G-BBDR in July 1973 and was exported to Finland as OH-PNP in May 1980. Tragically, on 18th August 1982, it was destroyed and the pilot killed when it crashed on approach to Joensuu Airport, Liperi, Finland, after it's cargo of newspapers caught fire.
