Original C S Waterfall. This picture is taken at Stansted after the aircraft was repossessed by Skyways, in late 1961, flown to SEN in 1962. The buildings behind are the Skyways hangar 31/32 complex. The picture was taken after the aircraft had been converted by Samlesbury Engineering Co Ltd, based at Samlesbury Aerodrome near Blackburn in Lancashire whilst registered to Skyways Ltd, late in 1959. Converted from 68 seat to 78 seat configuration with three additional windows added each side forward of wing. Mr Rylands was majority shareholder of both companies at the time.
