I'm jealous of your talents, another smashing picture.
It was a scheduled weekly flight, the UK Cyprus - Beverley.
It left RAF Abingdon on Friday morning. Stopped for lunch/fuel at Istres/Orange, then onto Luqa, where freight/pax for Malta were off loaded and the crew night stopped.
On the Saturday it flew to Nicosia, where their freight/pax were off-loaded and return freight loaded. Again the crew night stopped.
On the Sunday pax loaded and it flew Nicosia - Luqa, another night stop and returning freight/pax loaded.
Monday morning, Luqa - Istres/Orange stop for lunch and fuel.
Monday afternoon home run to Abingdon.
The a/c that crashed with the police dogs on board in I think 1957, was a UCB!
When I was posted to Istres in Sept 57, I went out as 'supernumerary crew' on a UCB. We 'pax' were labeled supernumerary crew as the pilot was not qualified to carry pax!
