Life after UTA

TAI was still based at ORY when this picture of F-BIUY was made

F-BIUY, originally delivered to TAI, was disposed of in 1973 and sold to TAE/Trabajos Aereos y Enlaces as EC-CCN. Acting as a Sunshine liner, she is seen departing Düsseldorf with another party of pale sunseekers on board

F-BIUZ, also a TAI contribution,

was sold to the french airforce and serialed 45570/F-RAFE.
Kept with the JT-4s power plants, she was extentively modified as an ELINT coming up with large sized pods set at the wingtips and the forward underbelly. Also referred to as "Sarigue", ie the opossum, named as the rodent which is so elusive that it can't be kept unnoticed even when seen !


Pictured at LBG in 1979 by Michel Gilliand when still powered with JT4s.

Later on, she was re-engined with JT3Ds. Based at Evreux/Normandy, she was donated to the Musée de l'Air, when disposed of in favor of an heavily modified 72CF.


Seen again at LBG as a retired unsung hero by Allan Martins Antunes

She now lingers at Dugny, in company of many former star exebits

Contributed by UAT, F-BJLA/45574, became EC-CDC when also sold to TAE in 1973. Also part of the Sunshine Liners gang, she is seen at FRA with another party of sunseekers eager to make it to the beaches.

F-BJUV, 45627, was transfered to Air Afrique in 1968 and re-registered TU-TCD and named "Dakar". When withdrawn from use, Charlie Delta started a new life as a training airframe at RK maintenance facilities at .... you bet DAKAR/Yoff where she has been last heard of.

Three years later, "Dakar" at LBG, her second home, in RK's second dress.

"Dakar" managed to stay long enough for getting the brunswick-greens outfit introduced with the Big Tens in 1973.
