Photo Comment

Built in 1947, this Beech D18 was originally registered N1846. It was re-registered N1847 by Mead Corporation in 1951 so they could transfer N1846 to their Lockheed 18. In 1955 the aircraft was modified with a Remmert-Werner Custom 18 conversion that included enlarged windows. Registered CF-LLF in 1959, it had a Volpar trigear conversion before pictured with Cowen's Air Transport. Later flown by Peninsula Air Service and Condor Aviation before moving to the USA as N8517Z in 1980. On December 13, 1974 the freighter crashed at Norfolk, VA when an engine lost power on approach.
