G-ASCO 1 Shorts SC-7 Skyvan 2 (proto) Short Brothers & Harland LPL 26MAY66
Replacing an earlier scanned slide with a better version 13-Mar-15, plus Topaz DeNoise AI 13-Mar-26.
The original 'Shorts Shed'...
Seen with the original Astazou engines which sounded like 2 wasps in a can!
G-ASCO was the 2nd prototype SC-7 Skyvan which first flew 29-Oct-65. It was used in the development programme and as a demonstrator and flew in many different liveries of prospective customers.
It didn't stay around for long though, it was stored at Short's factory airfield at Sydenham, Belfast (now Belfast Harbour Airport) in May-68 and was broken up in early 1972.
