However, I don't know for certain if any of these aircraft were actually owned by Dan or simply leased or chartered. I know Dan damp-leased a few 700s from Alidair in the 1970s.
G-BCZR, later Z-WGC, still exists as a roadside restaurant at Chegutu in Zimbabwe. Here she is on Google Earth.

The ownership during the Dan-Air lease was Air Bridge Carriers (ABC). Although in full Dan-Air colours, like other Viscounts over time, I believe Dan-Air always leased them and didn't have them on their AOC.
