Another dramatic aircraft. I had the unexpected pleasure of seeing an Israeli Airforce one (4X-FAT I think) land at Luton in the mid 70’s. It was certainly different from the 1-11’s, Britannias and 737’s which were based there.

Israel C-97

C-97s passing through Gander enroute to Israel.
In front of the GANDER sign is 4X-FPN on 11 August 1973.
In front of the control tower on 31 July 1973 is 4X-FPM which was ex-Minnesota Air Guard and the serial appears to be 0-30365.
