Originally delivered new to Seaboard World Airlines in 1964, this DC8 freighter served with various operators during its lifetime including UTA and the French Air Force. MK Airlines was its last owner before being scrapped in 2008.

They got their moneys worth out of this lady !.....as you know Richard, KLM Cargo operated
the DC type in the 60s and 70s, the aircraft handled well under load.

Yes Martin, all versions of the DC8 were great workhorses in their cargo configuration. I
really miss seeing these on final approach - you could usually see a line of smoke in the
sky before you could see the aircraft. Happy memories!!
