5x An2 Seafreight to Cuba

Post by Thijs »

Hi

"Spotted" five An2 as Seafreight to Cuba in the port of Rotterdam today. A pity heat shrink was applied.

Titels looked like "Servicios Aereos" and frame was a kind of yellow.

Only 1 number was written on the heat shrink per frame:

1Г22523
1Г22955
1Г23219
1Г24017
1Г24018

No idea if this means anything...
