München-Riem
1975-08-17 (17 August 1975)
G-ASDC "Plain Jane"
Aviation Traders ATL-98 Carvair
10273/7
British Air Ferries (BAF) Cargo
"Plain Jane" is taxiing through the snow to runway 07 for take-off. This Carvair had previously been noted at Riem on 30 December 1969 and 9 August 1975. It visited Riem again on 10 February 1978 and 23 February 1978 (night stop). The aircraft looked old and quaint even in 1978 but only had accumulated 15 years of service at that point and would fly for another 19 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)
