This DC8 left the Emery fleet way before its picture was taken at MST.
It was operated by a company called Supreme Air, which, most likely, was just a postbox-company. It flew several missions to the Middle East and it's whereabouts were documented on a number of other websites. It was surely the plane used to fly the arms from Tel Aviv to Iran, there is no question there.....
Emery operated out of MST too in that period but with 63's and 73's so this 21 blended in nicely. A well chosen camouflage, even the titles were only partly washed out.. Great job, nobody suspected anything

I agree it may be a little off-topic and I apologize for that but the Southern Air topic made me think of those cowboy operations.
It should be c/n 45421 and was apparently broken up in Johannesburg September 1989 as S9-NAB
Hope it helps
Be lucky
David
