Never (ski-)jump to conclusions. The Conroy Tri Turbo Three was not using the Harrier ski-jump rig at the 1978 Farnborough Airshow. Jack Conroy's company had also converted the CL-44-O Skymonster, and he had worked for Aero Spacelines converting the Stratocruiser-based Guppy series in the 1960s. The coastguard-like "Maritime Patrol And Rescue" markings are bogus and for promotional sales purposes only.

C-53 in World War II (41-20133), demobbed in May 1945 and was with TWA before the end of the month (NC44783). John Conroy acquired the Three in January 1968 (N4700C) and it was flying as the Conroy Turbo-Three with two Rolls Royce Dart turboprops in 1969.
