Looking forlorn as she sits with her fading paintwork, this wonderful old lady would never fly again. She was purchased for spares and her registration cancelled in March 1975, (you can still make out the Carib West titles on her fuselage). Starting life in the military as 42-92326, this aircraft had a spell in europe as F-BEFN before heading back home and flying as N16399. The twilight of her career saw her plying her trade in the sunny caribbean...................R.I.P.
