G-ASDC "Plain Jane"

Aviation Traders ATL-98 Carvair

10273/7

British Air Ferries (BAF) Cargo

 

This Carvair was also noted at Riem on 9 August 1975, and later on 10 February 1978 and 23 February 1978. It looked old and quaint even in 1975 but only had accumulated 12 years of service at that point and would fly for another 22 years.

 

 

Information from airliners.net (Richard Vandervord):

Converted by ATEL from DC-4 LX-BNG and first flying as a Carvair in 3.63, G-ASDC was first christened "Pont du Rhin" by BUAF and was renamed "Plain Jane" by BAF in 1972. Sold to Falcon Airways of Texas as N80FA in 4.79 (crashed 6.97 in AK)
