Could this be the end of this well travelled machine? The plane (c/n 19179) was delivered to World Airways as N972WA. It then moved to TAP as CS-TBJ, Sicotra Avn. 9Q-CSB, Sydec Cargo 3D-CSB, 3C-GIG. The bust at Southend occurred after the plane had flown from Jamaica with 271 kgs. of pure heroin. Photo of the plane is with Koda Air (current owner?).
