These aircraft arrived at MAN when one developed a tech fault en-route to Bolivia.

I am having great difficulty tracking one of these down (TAM-41). This serial doesn't show in any production lists despite the aircraft being ex-Aviaco. It is clearly TAM-41 as photographic proof exists.

Could anyone shed any more light on this aircraft ?

Thanks for that Dave.

I have looked at two other production list sources, which have this as TAM-48, what is your reference?
