The Nord 262 airliner, in the same class as the Fokker F.27 Friendship, started life as the Max Holste MH.250, which first flew in 1949 with twin piston engines. This was followed by a turboprop-powered variant, the MH.260, which flew in July 1960. Due to lack of orders, production ended after only 10 aircraft had been
built; however, in 1961 the project was taken over by Nord Aviation, who developed an improved and more powerful version, the Nord
262. The company subsequently produced 100 Nord 262A, B, C and D Models.

Sosa Airlines was an operator with one model but at least 6 month ago it has been grounded by the lack of spares to put it on flight again. for me it is a very nice plane.
