"PH-MOA Douglas C-47B Moormanair Holland MAN 08APR71
Moormanair didn't last long, neither did the aircraft. Previously N3179Q it was delivered to Moormanair Holland in 1970. Two months after this photo was taken, on 09-Jun-71, it was written off at Southend, UK, when it overran the runway during an emergency landing. It had departed Southend at night en-route to Holland with Ajax soccer supporters when an oil leak was discovered on the No:2 engine. It returned to Southend, landed too fast and halfway down the runway, overran and was damaged beyond repair when it hit an earth bank (put there to protect the main Southend/London railway line which passed the runway end!)."
