Description: this factory fresh Partenavia was registered to Travair on February 6 1981 but was already delivered at Antwerp airport on December 12 1980, here seen without titles with a tiny logo in the tail. As Travair, established on February 20 1967 as taxi operator, became from January 1 1981 onwards the official dealer for Africa of this Italian aircraft type, this particular airframe passed only via Antwerp airport for the paperwork and was resold quite rapidly, namely on March 13 1981 being cancelled to South Africa, again as "ZS-LAJ" (see also OO-HJA).
