Wanted: exact broken up date of OO-NVG Convair 440

Post by Skystef »

With my continual search on info in history of the Belgian register, i encountered this problem.
OO-NVG/(OO-UVG) CV440 c/n 333 of DAT was delivered to EBAW back on August 20 1972, it never flew with the carrier & was nothing more than a spare source for the flying Convair fleet . It was canx from the register on Januari 12 1977.
Now the question: when was the aircraft completely put in pieces @ EBAW?
Some of the available literature says date of b/u Sept 1976, which is quite unbelievable, as i have a photograph taken in Januari 1977, and it was still quite complete. So my first guess is "during 1977".
If somebody has more info, please let me/us know.
THX,

SkyStef

Ok Lien, thx for trying, the literature i've read says b/u 29/09/76.
But this photo taken @ ebaw around 01/77 says its still fairly intact.

OO-NVG
