München-Riem
April 1990
G-BEPS
Short SC-5 Belfast C1
1822 / 7
HeavyLift Cargo Airlines
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-52-13 with Short Brothers Plc on 21 February 1966. In service as XR368 Theseus with 53 Squadron, RAF, at Brize Norton. In 1976, 53 Sqn was disbanded and Theseus was sold to Euro-Latin Commercial Ltd (PANAF) as G-BEPS. Re-registered to Transmeridian Air Cargo and then to HeavyLift in 1978. Broken up at Southend in October 2008 after plans to put it back in service alongside sister-ship RP-C8020 (ex G-HLFT) down-under fell through.
