Mexicana DH-106 Comet 4 XA-NAP

Originally delivered to BOAC in 1960 as G-APDR, leased to Mexicana as XA-NAZ in 1966, re-registered XA-NAP. Sold to Channel Airways in 1971 for spares, broken up at the fire dump at London Stansted Airport in 1973.

I'll attach a photo of XA-NAP at the fire dump later.
