I'm not sure how many Carvairs are still operational but it seems there is one less now :sad:

At least the two crew are OK

Did'nt even release any were still airworthy. Sad about the loss of a classic but more importantly no one was killed.

Hmm.......not sure as thee is storage periods involved.

I think it was four airworthy but only two flyable......if that makes sense.:think:
