Postwar-built DC-4 "Ciel de Lorraine" was delivered new to Air France on 26 June 1946. It served the airline until sale to Air Madagascar as 5R-MAD in March 1963. It crashed on 19 July 1967. It is seen on short finals to Ringway's Runway 06 inbound from Dinard (Pleurtuit) operating a weekly summer schedule from that resort.

Mercury's only Dakota, based at Ringway, awaits passengers for schedule MI100 bound for Sandown (Isle of Wight) at 0845. It will be back in 3 hours 30 minutes and will perform another trip, interspersed with a return flight IOW to Leeds Yeadon, before ending back at Ringway at 2030. A 1500-mile itinerary for the day - not bad for a wartime-built old transport. It is refuelling from a Shell-BP tanker before the underground fuel pipes were commissioned.
