Description: seen at Schiphol on one of the many daily runs from and to Antwerp. The last two letters of the regi were referring to DAT's managing director Freddy Van Gaever. As also other aircraft of the company had a regi ending with "VG" it lead to confusion with ATC conversations and was re-registered on August 29 1973 to OO-VGU and remained such operational till April 1977.
