Delivered to Northeast in April 1949, serving until damaged at La Guardia on 6 February 1953 then sold for rebuilding. From Convair 50 years ago.

"Rembrandt" was delivered new to KLM in August 1948, serving until sale in November 1957. It is departing from Ringway on the Amsterdam-Manchester-Dublin service.

Swiss Air Lines "Neuchatel" taxies towards Runway 06 to depart on the scheduled service from Ringway to Zurich (Kloten). It still wears the original all-metallic finish with no white top yet added. HB-IRV served SR from February 1949 until sale to Mohawk Airlines in November 1956.

Swissair's "Ticino" on finals to Runway 06 inbound from Zurich. Previously with KLM as PH-TEA, this aircraft crashed six days later in the English Channel, six miles off Folkestone (Kent), when it ran out of fuel.

Aircraft used by the US Ambassador to Australia.

Rather poorly disguised as a US Coast Guard HC-131A, this is in fact a civilian CV-240. She first served with Swissair as HB-IRT, and then briefly with Transocean Air Lines as N1018C. Having become N280P she was for some reason seized by the sheriff of Salt Lake County in 1975. She was moved to Castle in 1999.

It looks as though this aircraft would soon be broken up.

This aircraft looks rather forlorn. It was once owned by the actor Cary Grant and when seen here its purchase was being negotiated by the Commemorative Air Force.
