This former Haiti Air Freight DC-6 was found in the Argentinian UN-Aviation compound at Port-au-Prince, where it served as a club house for military personnel deployed to Haiti with the UN (MINUSTAH). It was called the Bandi 2 Club. Argentinian technicians went to great lenghts to get three out of four engines running, illustrating the good shape of the aircraft! One side had been repainted to resemble an Argentinian Air Force DC-6, as shown here, the other side was still in yellow Haiti Air Freight colours (no titles). The aircraft was still there by mid 2023, but by then in very poor condition. This photo is copyright © Wim Sonneveld, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
