Originally Delivered to American Airlines as N7557A on the 20th December 1963 in the "Astrojet Freighter" scheme, This machine was bought by East African and re-registered as 5X-UWM in March 1975 and immediately sub-leased out to little known operator Simbair, who then operated and frequent route into LHR/EGLL throughout 1975-1977. The aircraft was then sold off and purchased by Tradewinds who then re-registered the aircraft G-BFEO. They then used it up until 1986, when it was flown to AMARC of the KC-135 program and thats where she sits to this day. And a logo for Tony   Enjoy Ben IMAGES REMOVED PENDING RE-SUBMISSION |

Hi Ben
One query
5X- is Uganda and yet the Kenyan flag looks like it is at the top
The flags on EAA are of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania and the country of registration should be the top one.
It is hard to tell on you screenshots.

Actually .... I think Garry may be right !  Ben .... refer to the flag positions in that little airline logo for the website which you've posted above. "IF" those 3 flags are postioned correctly within this logo .... then we "MAY" need to flip the logos on both sides of the tail on this aircraft .... to correspond with the flag positions we're seeing in the little airline logo above. Leave it all with you .... OK !  Mark C AKL/NZ |

Ben take aclose look at the tail logo of the screenshot you provided, I think the flags are wrongly positioned and the right one is reversed. Just thought it might help  |

This picture is pretty clear shot of the flags... Jet Photos dot NetNot sure what Ben's looked like, screenshots were removed prior to me seeing them. But the flags are reversed compared to the above logo. My question is, are the flags in the same position on the other side, or are they reversed so the same flag is in the forward position. |

Don't look like they are reversed (Same flag in the forward spot.) to me. This is what I see,  looking at the above Jet Photo Picture, and this ONEGuess would have been helpful to see Ben's paint LOL, maybe won't be so confused. ;D |
