Description: this factory fresh Cessna (build by Reims) was on December 6 1978 registered to Hessenatie-Sotramat Aviation and arrived at Antwerp airport three days later. The company itself was on December 18 1978 officially founded after a merger between Sotramat Avation established on May 7 1958 and Hessenatie-Neptunus. Here captured at its home base in its full livery without titles. Little joy had the carrier with this airframe as on January 20 1981 at its home base it was damaged beyond repair when after landing it suddenly veered to the right while taxiing whereby the nosewheel broke off after hitting a lamp. Luckely no casualty of the pilot on board, afterwards it was used for spares and on February 24 1983 cancelled from the register.
