When visiting West Air Sweden at the time, I was told they had terminated some plans of using this one as a crew shuttle. Lateron when trying to trace the identity, everyone I talked to seemed to deny it was ever there and identity remained unconfirmed for a long time. Many years later I read about YV-956C carrying out a forced landing in a French cornfield due to fuel exhaustion on delivery flight to Helica. It seems the crew were transferring fuel from cans in the cabin during flight, but not in the rate of consumption. This turned out to be the same aircraft and the accident took place about two months after this picture... [Provia 100 slide]
