Notes:

This beast from a bygone era was an unexpected site for me on a chilly overcast winter day! Originally delivered as I-DIWJ to Alitalia in 1968, this DC-8 bounced around from owner to owner. In 2003 African International Airways acquired it and then sold it off to Stars Away International in 2009 who left it derelict in Cape Town. A sad end to an aircraft that flew thousands of hours undoubtedly

I remember seeing this one in Manchester back in 2005, so sad to see it in this state.
