Hi All, I'm not actually an aircraft expert or even a hobbyist. What I am is a former keen photog who took pictures of everything that moved and a lot of things that didn't.
As many of you will know, taking lots of photos means lots of boxes of photos- including some boxes which don't get opened for a long time. My wife and I have just had a clean-out of our loft and found a box which has followed us around the world for 40 years. In that box was a picture of an aircraft that I took in 1969 whilst stationed in Cyprus (at Ayios Nikolaos).
I managed to successfully scan the two and a quarter inch transparencey and would like to put it in from of you guys to see if anyone can give me a type ident, and, maybe, even info on this particular airframe.
There are three pictures, one taken forward left quarter and one left rear quarter, the other is a blow-up of the tail number. The tail ident is clearly visible - 172701 OK-KIE. See the three attachments, please.
The pictures were taken at the back of the NAAFI (nope, sadly the very Byzantine looking church is not our NAAFI) in Famagusta in either 1969 or 1970.
Grateful for any info that you can all throw my way.
Thanks,
IanF
