Caravelle vin (c/n 149) F-GBMJ Europe Aero Service.
Seen on the ramp at Valence in Southern France after a torrential rain
storm, EAS Caravelle F-GBMJ is being readied for another flight. This
Caravelle was delivered in 1962 as LV-PVU, and later LV-HGZ, to Aérolineas
Argentinas. In 1973 it was transferred to the Fuerza Aérea Argentina, and
in 1975 was sold to the US as N46SB. In December 1978, EAS acquired the
aircraft and named it 'Valentinois'. F-GBMJ ended its days in the
scrapyard at EAS' base in Perpignan, where it was finally broken-up. (Photo
