Built for American Airlines in 1953 as N90774 and here being operated by Reynolds Metals who kept it until late 1965 when it became XC-MEX. Converted to a freighter in 1978 and became 5N-ATD later that year. Last known stored at Lagos (DNMM) and believed scrapped by 1990.

It's past five o'clock so the Vertol 107 prototype has probably just returned from its amphibious demonstration on a nearby lake. The same aircraft also visited Europe in 1959. On the rear fuselage it reads: 'Prototype of US Marine HRB-1 - Swedish Hkp4'. The HRB-1 designation was changed into CH-46A. Photo by: Joop van Bilsen / Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)
