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
Alan, apologies if I'm a bit slow but what is the connection between this aircraft and Philstone International ?
