Don’t remember the “Wrangler” name but I do remember seeing a Tradewinds CL44 freighter leave Heathrow occasionally back in the early seventies… I didn’t realise they were still going.
Would be nice to see them pull through 🙁

I think you are confusing the British Tradewinds Company, now defunct, with the U.S. version with a similar name!
Great news, stunning photos!
Operated by Air Smith (!) at one time and shown in many colour schemes.
Understand that the aircraft was a Tripacer based at Popham.
Didnt know Milton Keynes had there own airline:o
Joke aside, does higher fuel costs effect cargo airlines more or less then passenger carries who customers feel the pinch in there pocket first?
Good one CAL, actually the initials of the boss!
The 742 seems to be any early casuality of the fuel crisis due to the shorter range in comparison with the 744.
This is probably the aircraft, XU-RKJ.

Will be interested in the answer as this plane is reported as still stored and I cannot find a MC flight number!:confused:
Added. Presumably this is the same plane that was involved in the human trafficking fiasco in Chad?
Initial reports of over 100 dead. Aircraft is believed to be ST-ATN, an A.310 (c/n 548).
HAve you lost a 727?
Apparantly no one wants to claim this B.727 at Hanoi Airport!

Apologies for duplication of post, didn’t notice first post!
The plane is reported as a Cessna with 6 POB.
Understand that 4 742F’s are being temporarily stored at Ostend.
