5Y-AYR
Bristol 175 Britannia 307F
12920
African Safari Airlines
African Safari Britannia with some interesting airport furniture and vegetation in the foreground, plus Manfred’s photo bag, I think. The tarmac surface in front was the taxi queuing area for the arrivals building.
This Britannia had visited Riem in the 1960s as G-ANCD with British United Airways (on 21 September 1966) and Lloyd International (6 March 1969 on an El Al flight, 15 July 1970).
Information from various web sources:
This was one of five Britannias ordered by Northeast Airlines but not taken up, and the only one painted in Northeast's colour scheme:
