Anyone know the back story on this particular aircraft?


I'm a bit pushed for time right now, but a quick skim of the www came up
with the following:

42-23551 D20Apr43 - FD867 RAF 07May43 - UK 20May43 - G-AGHJ/ODZX BOAC 21
May43 - Yl-GHJ Iraqi A/W L 12Dec46 - G-AGHJ BOAC 24May47 - BEA 11Jun47 -
Pionair "Albert Ball" 07Apr51 -W AfricanA/W Corp L - BEA - Alares Dev Co
(Jersey A/L) R05Jan61 - Autair (Luton) Ltd R 13Mar62 - Avn Lsg Ltd
R08Apr63 - Libyan Avn L 1964 - Wfu Luton 1965 - Canx 31 Dec69 - B/u.

Also, this a/c operated (under BOAC reg) in late 1943/early 1944 between RAF
Lyneham and Rabat, Morocco.
