Former National Airlines Constellation N7134C delivered in 1957 was stored at MIami in 1963. Nordair bought the aircraft, registering it CF-NAM in December 1964. Stored at Montreal unmarked and used for spares, it was restored to flight in 1966. Nordair sold their Constellations beginning in December 1968 to Canairelief for relief operations in the Nigerian civil war (Biafrian airlift). CF-NAM was abandoned at São Tomé (with sister ship CF-NAL) after hostilities ended in 1970. Both aircraft are preserved as part of a restaurant next to the airport. In memory of Peter Marshall 1946 - 2024

rear view of one of the super Constellations at Asas d'Avião. The airplane is completely built in, and is now in use as decoration and housing.

In 1969 two Lockheed Super Constellation were bought by relief organisations providing food support for war torn Biafra. They flew daily from the island of Sao Tome. After the whole operation the airplanes were left on the island. Since 1970 the airplanes have remained in open storage in an area next to the airfield. By now they have been made part of a restaurant/music venue called Asas d'Avião, only open for special events. This Constellation is almost completely built-in, this photo was taken from outside the venue.
