Spent a couple of hours of my life flying in it from Huambo Angola to Lusaka courtesy of Dr Savimbi in the mid 70's flown by 2 German speaking pilots, probably South Africans, in a distinctly combo configuration. The plane then was in the colours of Oriental Pearl Airlines The seat back and bulkhead pockets still had Air New Zealand timetables in them. The plane was in good condition for what it was obviously doing. Later seen in in Rotterdam Airport about 6 months later. It was probably at the time an "agency" airline for organisations that liked to keep a low profile. Regards Alan
