Manufactured in 1956 on order of Central African Airways. First flight on May 5, “Matapos” was delivered on May 17 as VP-YNB. Kuwait Airways leased between June and August 1958. Central African Airways was renamed as Air Rhodesia in January 1968, and rebranded again as Air Zimbabwe in February 1980. Re-registered as Z-YNB in October 1983. WFU and stored for ground training at Harare Airport in December 1990. This was a pretty hard shot, risking years from my life in prison – according to the warning signs were clearly visible on the fence. First in database, scanned from an old slide.
