Originally N723PA "Clipper Viking" with Pan Am this aircraft subsequently had a very colourful history too long to detail here, but it achieved fame on 11th October 1979 when it took off from Bristol Lulsgate Airport for Kuwait "after using every inch of runway….the aircraft extensively damaged approach lighting, carried a quantity of hedge and tree with it to Kuwait, and left behind at Lulsgate large sections of both inner flaps."! It was eventually impounded at Ankara in 1981 and scrapped there soon after. This photo is copyright © Roger Syratt, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
