USAAF serial, 42-72247. Serving with Trans Atlantic Airlines as N90443, this DC-4 was impounded at Basel in June 1962, reportedly because of unpaid fees. On 14 June the crew made an illegal departure to Milan. Wearing the fake registration N2894C, the aircraft then flew to Brussels where the pilots ran away. Auctioned in 1967, the plane became a bar near Geraardsbergen (Grammont). In the early 1970s she was moved to the local airfield. Though by then part of the Phoenix gliding club premises, she was in terrible shape when I drove by in 2010.

Looking very nice after being restored at OPF. The aircraft only got as far as Douglas, Georgia on a ferry flight to Alaska in October 2005 when engine problems cut the flight short. Sadly, it was abandoned and the airport sold the aircraft for scrap in June 2017. Seen at Douglas, GA on Jun 18th 2022. Looks to have the 4th engine off and getting repairs

Growing up in Southend when the Carvair was still an everyday sight, it was great to catch up with one of the two survivors, the last of 21 built. I remember seeing her being converted from DC-4 VH-INM in ATEL's hangar in 1968. Resuming service with Ansett-ANA, she later went to Nationwide in NZ and Hawaii Pacific Air before going to S Africa in 1996. Bought by Phoebus in 2002 ('Exclusive' titling was from a cigarette brand) and last flew JNB-QRA 25.6.05. Engines recently refitted and not looking too bad but has remained for sale in increasingly poor condition

When they stripped all the layers of paint from 'DC for its freight-only career 'au naturel', it was said that they gained about 10% extra payload. Behind is G-AOFW which for a while was a candidate for preservation

When they stripped all the layers of paint from 'DC for its freight-only career 'au naturel', it was said that they gained about 10% extra payload. Behind is G-AOFW which for a while was a candidate for preservation

Arriving in Bolivia in 1973, this C-54G-5-DO was formerly 45-0551 and although looking rather sad here, was smartly restored as CP-2292 for Air Beni in 1997 and was abandoned at Pucullpa after a drugs flight; now in a very neglected state

"Big Louie" eases onto SEN's runway 06. I grew up 3 miles out along that approach path in the Sixties and have the Carvair and the other classic props of the time to thank for firing my aviation interest

Southend attracted more than its fair share of exotic propliners seeking the attentions of ATEL and this C-54 was no exception. Of 1944 vintage, she went to KLM in 1945 and France's TAI in 1948. Bought by Air Afrique 1966 and sold to Air Comores after the Southend overhaul as F-OCSV. Lastly to SOACO as TR-LUT in 1975 and wfu two years later, then broken up

Harold Bamberg, the man behind British Eagle, bought this DC-4 from Air Siam in 1973 with the hope of using it to start a new operation, Eagle Aircraft Services - but it was never to be. Allocated G-BBVN and later LN-NAC (for Norwegian Overseas Airways), the former National, JAL and TAA aircraft is seen on the Southend dump not long before final break-up
