"Vega" was built at Belfast and first flown on 12.5.59, serving 99/511 Sqdn till placed in storage at Kemble in 12.75. Bought by Young Cargo as OO-YCH in 8.76 and leased to Liberia World. Sold to Katale in 4.79 as 9Q-CKG but ferried from Manston to Zaire in LWA c/s. Re-registered 9Q-CBT but wfu and later broken at Goma

Delivered in 1953 and served with 82, 58, 69 and 39 Sqdns before joining the A&AEE at Boscombe for camera trials in 1968. Now one of only two surviving PR.3's and looking good at the Midland Air Museum, Coventry, after attention from a devoted individual. Was obtained from Marshalls of Cambridge in fairly poor condition

The only time I got to see an Indian Connie... but I'm not complaining, what a fine sight! First delivered to Air India as VT-DJW "Rani of Bijapur" in 7.58; passed to the Air Force in 4.62 after freighter conversion. The Indian military was forced to retire its Constellations when Air India would no longer perform maintenance on them due to lack of spares; BG579 made the final flight on 31.3.84. BG583 was wfu at Pune in 1983 and apparently moved to Agra for storage for the IAF Museum. It survived there until at least late 1998, but its current status is unclear.
