Ex OO-VAN, D-ANUK, N95407, N15845, USAAF 42-72347. Converted for cargo (as a DC-4 'Swingtail') from a C-54B Skymaster for Sabena in 1966. It was re-registered as 9Q-CBK in 1984 and operated by Kinair Cargo from September 1984, and was destroyed when it crashed on 23 August 1988 near Mbamou Island, Congo.

Converted by Sabena to swing-tail configuration for Air Zaire circa1967 and later, while with Kinair Cargo as 9Q-CBK, it was destroyed in a crash near Kinshasa. No details can be found, but maybe the tail became unlatched?
