"Clipper Frankfurt" taxies towards Heathrow North using its inner engines only. It is operating an intra-European flight wearing full PAWA titles. It is ex USAAF C-54G 45-590, converted by Douglas to civil C54G-DC in early 1947 (conversion #72) and delivered to Pan Am in February 1947. It served the airline until 1953, when it was returned to the USAF as 45-590.
