Previously USAAF 43-16408, and NC51179 with TWA since Jan 1946. To ET-T-12 in the late 1940s, still with TWA. Arrived at Prestwick in Oct 1949, then converted to engine carrier for TWA with the Douglas "Plan D" prototype conversion kit by Scottish Aviation between Nov 1952 and Apr 1953. Back to N51179 in the mid 1950s, and later to F-OBCT, 5R-MAK and ET-AGM. Written off in March 1980 in Ethiopia. The same registration ET-T-12 was later carried by C-82 Packet "Ontos" (c/n 10184), also a TWA engine carrier.

Photo probably taken in 1951 - the source says 1950 but this Constellation was not delivered until the last days of 1950 and the scene does not look winterish. Note 'Trans World Airline' title even though the airline pluralized its name already on 17 May 1950. Photo by: René Gardi / ETH-Bibliothek Zürich

For some time TWA was 'Trans World Airline' rather than 'Airlines' and the TWA logo had an arrow through it. This C-54E, ex 44-9053, was in the TWA fleet between 1946 and 1951. The KLM DC-4 behind can be identified as PH-TAS Schiedam. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich
