Description: this second hand Cessna came on June 29 1981 in the Belgian register for the Belgische Oliemaatschappij based at Antwerp airport, but arrived over there four days earlier. From August 28 1981 onwards it was (for a period of 10 years) exclusively leased to Stradavia, an Antwerp based company for which the abbrevation stood for Stoelen - Trading and Aviation and formed on June 19 1959 as Carosserie Stoelen. Here it's seen in a livery without titles, the colors being a remnant of a previous German operator. On January 31 1985 it left Antwerp airport for The Netherlands and on February 4 it was cancelled from the register being reregistered a month later, on March 5, to "PH-HNK" for Aviation Service Holland BV.
