The Cessna U206F, also known as the Stationair, is a versatile, single-engine, high-wing aircraft, popular for its durability and reliability. This particular model, manufactured under the serial number U20602145, was en route to Nigeria during this time. Blackpool-Squires Gate Airport, located in the United Kingdom, served as a vital stopover for numerous flights during the 1970s.
