VR-TBC
Percival P.54 Survey Prince
(c/n P54/22)
This Prince was owned by the Government of
Tanganyika (Survey Division) in the 1950s and
was one
of three used to map the country. It carries the name "Rufiji". This was later
changed
to "Prince
Charles". (Wow, here's a name that went the OTHER WAY - of
course, that was
in 1953 when
the territory was still a Crown Colony). VR-TBC was withdrawn
from use in 1961
when its starboard wing was used to reconstruct another Survey Prince,
VR-UDC (for Shell Oil
in
Brunei).
