Any confirmation or further details appreciated.

The former Belgian Air Force C-54 was re-registered as G-AZSI and bought by BAF for spares for their Carvair fleet in 1973. It was broken up at the fire dump in 1975. It had originally been built and delivered to SAS.
BAF had purchased two former Spantax DC-4's as spares for their Carvair fleet and we're registered G-BANO and G-BANO. Both were scrapped at the fire dump in 1975/76.
Former Belgian C-54 re-registered as G-AZSI at the fire dump at London Stansted Airport in 1975. Bought by BAF as spares for their Carvair fleet.
Former Spantax DC-4 sold to BAF and re-registered as G-BANO, seen on the fire dump at London Stansted Airport in 1975. G-BANP is out of view but was also present.
