A WWII veteran - VT-AUT was initially delivered to USAAF during the WWII and after serving for about 40 years in India it retired in mid 80s and was stored at Delhi Airport up till the early 2000s when it got displaced due to airport expansion project and eventually landed at the beautiful premise of Ambassador Sky Chef compound near Delhi Airport. The last operator was the Border Security Force but in between it had also served under Indian Airlines for a long time and had flown across India for transporting cargo and passengers. Big thanks to Mr. Sanjay Narang and Mr. Amit Singh for the permission to visit the aircraft. It is a vintage asset for Ambassador Sky Chef as this resembles Ambassador Sky Chef's journey.
