Photographed at what was then known as Avra Valley Airport, since renamed Marana Regional Airport. After wartime service with the RAF as KG619 the aircraft passed to the Spanish Air Force as T.3-2 until being sold off as G-BGCE in 1978, and then going to the USA as N37529. In the 1980s it was of a number of old propliners based at McAllen, TX., and used to smuggle consumer goods into Mexico until its luck ran out and it was impounded there in January 1990. It was last reported as a derelict hulk at Oaxaca - Xoxocotlan International Airport registered as XA-ION.
