It can be any W 123, it was just repaired during the years and after some crashes with parts, which were available in that moments. Not to forget, it's in Africa...

Even in North Korea (I'm just reading a book, written by the former responsible manager of Kim Jong Il, who fugeed in 1993 and was living since then the whole time incognito in Vienna...) -- Last edit: 2010-05-10 20:30:12
