An exotic delivery through Staverton. This very smart Caribou spent a few days at the Gloucestershire airfield on her way from New Jersey to Indonesia. Looking at her seemingly pristine condition it is difficult to believe that this aircraft is 45 years old. Before taking up her civil "career", this grand old lady served in the American military as 60-5433 and then with the Spanish Air Force as T9-24.
