historiques
- First flight: 21.1.1969
- this aircraft was delivered initially to LHR for
initial planning work to convert the aircraft interior for VIP use by
the late President Tito of Jugoslavia. As a matter of fact I thought it
was a type VI R not N as stated. After a few weeks at LHR,
it was repositioned to East Midlands Airport here in UK, where the
conversion and VIP interior was designed and installed.
Later in 1969, it was collected by the operator JAT who would operate it
on behalf of the Jugoslav Air Force. I was Chief Planning Engineer for
the project and was made responsibnle for the final Quality Control
inspection of the finished aircraft. (comment
