Summary

[edit]
Description

c/n 1049G-4640 Built in 1956 for Lufthansa as ‘D-ALEC’. In March 1968 it was used by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) during the Biafran Airlift, using the unauthorised identity 5T-TAK. By September that year it had been allocated the US civil identity N8025 but by then it was stored at Lisbon Airport and ultimately remained there until broken up during 1981. The nose and other components were saved and became part of the TAP Air Portugal museum, but have since moved here for the national collection. Museo do Ar, Sintra, Portugal.
