Convair 340 to Europe.

Breitling, arguably in collaboration with Super Constellation Flyers Association, will acquire the second Convair 340 of Rovos Air, to arrive in Switzerland during spring in Swissair (basic) livery and to be a welcome guest in the foreseeable future at air shows, with flight enthusiastic members surely to join at a later stage as passenger. This means that both Rovos Air Convair 340s have found a new home with the world's only Super Constellations operators. Its counterpart, ZS-ARV was ferried by the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society to Wollongong - not far from Sydney - in August 2016.

As Breitling moves its sponsorships away from the aviation scene at the moment (due to personal changes in the upper bits of the company), this is not surprising.
