What a pity.

There are still at least two of these marvellous aeroplanes operating in the UK with Atlantic Airlines. They are maintained at Coventry. I have been working in an office at Coventry for six months and so far have seen a landing and some engine runs but yet to be there for a take-off which must be magnificent.

There are also a couple of Electras in bits at Coventry. Maybe they can supply parts to Buffalo (I guess operators of such rare types stay in touch).

Sorry, this probably belongs in a spotters areas but the Electras are so exciting.
