I had seen this aircraft a year earlier when it was operated by Regency. The titles have been painted out but otherwise the main change was that the number of pallets in front of the aircraft had increased.

This very early DC-6 survives in Germany but deserves to be preserved in an environment that would guarantee its survival well into the future.
