This photograph shows Avro York C.I MW173 “Zipper”. This aircraft was converted to (not built to) VIP standard for use by Air Chief Marshal Sir Keith Park GCB KBE MC* DFC RAF, as AOC Air Command South East Asia, an appointment he held from February 1945 into 1946. Although Zipper was normally based at Singapore this photograph was taken at Almaza, Cairo, Egypt shortly after the War. The two silver aircraft in the background are the two Tiger Moths of the Egyptian airline Misr Airwork.
