The DC-6 parked in a small garden in the coastal town of Puerto Colombia. There is no external identity visible, and the garden is now fenced off. But the airplane was first reported here in 2017, when they were cleaning up the airport in Barranquilla, some 35km east from here. A DC-6 and DC-8 were removed from the airfield, so I asume this DC-6 is the DC-6 from the dump in Barranquilla, HK-3530X ex Transoceanica Colombia. After arrival here in Puerto Colombia, engines were reinstalled and new fake cowlings have been installed.

Originally built for Canadian Pacific Airlines in 1957, this DC-6B was leased to British United Airways as G-ARXZ in 1962 then bought by Transair in 1969 as shown here. In 1972 they sold it to Grønlandsfly as OY-DRM (Photo ID: 198274) who sold it to Air Atlantique in 1979 as G-SIXA and they broke it up for spares in 1985.

Originally built for Alitalia in 1954 and ended its days with the Italian military. So common in the 1960s on inclusive tour charters that they were almost ignored, I snapped this shot after realizing they were being replaced by the Caravelle jet like the one parked next to it.

Originally built in 1954 for Pan American, it is here in service for Ariana back in more peaceful times. It later moved to Latin America (Photo ID: 34061) and was last heard of in the Miami graveyard where it was broken up.

I'd wanted to know what the streamlined bulge under the forward fuselage was for and David Carter has come up with a good explanation: dual long-range ADF antennas. This makes sense as in the days before LORAN, INS and GPS, the aircraft's position could be fixed by use of intersecting radials from two or more ADF stations. Especially useful on long trans-pacific flights which is what CPAL, the original operator of this aircraft, used to do.
