What a shame that this bird is not with us anymore. I normally don't take pictures of civil aircraft but because of the fact that there were not that many Mil. airplanes in Juba I started to photograph those .
I have seen her and het sister in South Sudan many times in 2010 & 2011.
Some images that I took of both birds on Juba Airport.

Images have emerged of the wreckage of a plane that crashed earlier today in Twic East.

The plane crashed 300 metres short of the airport and damaged some buildings. No people died on the ground but the pilot and the co-pilot perished. The flight engineer was the sole survivor.

The flight-engineer was in the back of this "Budgie" during the accident.
