There certainly was at least one Caravelle still airworthy somewhere around '96, '97. I came across one at Rundu, Namibia, then. Picking up a load of soft drinks it was. The name 'Ruth' was emblazoned under God's window, and when His Lordship permitted me to have a look at his bridge I was amazed at the Piper Aztecuesque instruments, the cockpit in the C404 I was trundling around in had a more up-to-date look. Le Capitaine was french, of course, and as unique as his aircraft, what a character, wonderful!
