HECTOR – Short Belfast C.1. Cargo Plane
Painted in a mix of its Air Force & Heavy Lift livery as a tribute!
The Short Belfast is a heavy lift turboprop freighter that was built by British manufacturer Short Brothers at Belfast in 1964. Only 10 aircraft were constructed, all of which entered service with the Royal Air Force (RAF), who operated it under the designation Short Belfast C.1. Some then went on to operate for Heavy Lift. Only 2 remain, "Enceladus" is in a museum not operational and "Hector" is in Australia
