Here is the typical nose of a Survey Prince which differs from the one on the Belgian Pembroke I mentioned before. Stig

Stig Jarlevik MSN 50-47, crashed in June 1958. Operated by Hunting Aerosurveys Limited P.50 Prince 4D Source : www.airport-data.com/aircraft/G-AMOT.html

Yes thanks Luc I have all the data available for G-AMOT The crash occurred on 6 June 1958 following over-speeding of propellers and followed by a force landing into trees and bush near Mackinnon Road landing strip, ca 40 mls NW of Mombasa, Kenya. It was canx from the UK register two month later as destroyed. Stig

Again I think this is a Pembroke and the former Belgian AF RM-2 on its way to USA. Stig

I have only seen one single aircraft with this particular angled glazed nose. No Prince had it, no Survey Prince had it and no Sea Prince did. The only aircraft that did was the P.66 Pembroke c/n 17 which went to the Belgian AF as RM-2/OT-ZAB. All Begian AF Pembrokes carried a fat red cheatline in the end. RM-2 was wfu in July 1974 and was sold to USA in Jan 1978 and my guess is that what we see is during the transfer and before any civil registration has been applied. No Gospel, but just my 2 cents...
