K25 slide scan. Built 1952 as CV-340 CV-340 N73118 for United. Converted to CV-580 for Lake Central 1966, merged into Allegheny 1968. Great Lakes C-GDTD 1976, renamed Air Ontario 1981. EAT OO-VGH 1987, operating for DHL. Withdrawn Brussels 1991, scrapped 1994. Although operating as a freighter the aircraft had no cargo door, a fact which probably led to its early withdrawal.
