Very rare visitor to Riem. According to my notes, three of the ten Belfasts built visited Riem: SH1816 (G-BEPE) on 3 June 1980, SH1822 (G-BEPS) in August 1989 and December 1989, March/April 1990 and May 1992 as well as SH1819 (G-HLFT) in May 1990.

 

 

First flight as G-52-24 on 5 January 1964, registered as G-ASKE on the same day. To Royal AF as XR362 „Samson“ on 21 December 67. Re-registered G-BEPE for Pan African Freight Liners (PANAF) on 29 March 1977. To Transmeridian Air Cargo/Heavylift Cargo Airlines in 1980. Stored at Southend Airport 26 October 1984 for parts, broken up on 18 February 1994. (Source: rzjets.net)
