Airlines in Botswana is an interesting story. Bechuanaland National Airways existed between 1965 and 1966 before going out of business. Then in 1966 Botswana National Airways entered the stage. However, they lasted only three years. In 1970 and 1971 it was Botswana Airways. Since 1972 it has been Air Botswana. VQ-ZEG is seen here at Lusaka in June of 1968 having been delivered in January. It was reregistered A2-ZEQ in June/July of that year.

Only ten Skymasters saw service with the RAF. The first was EW999, Churchill's personal aircraft, and this was the second, US serial 42-72442. It reached Britain in February 1945 and was sent to No 232 Sqn in India together with KL978. Uncle Sam wanted these capable Lend-Lease transports back after the end of the war and KL977 became a US Navy R5D-3, 91994. The airframe was still airworthy in the 2010s as N3054V with Alaska Air Fuel at Palmer, Alaska. Information from Airscape. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

VH-INX soon after arrival from Melbourne-Essendon. It had been trucked to Melton to be converted to an airport cafe. Sometime in 1972 the undercarriage retracted and it lay on its belly with the Ansett-ANA markings blacked out. Back on its undercarriage the tail was painted white but from then on it was all downhill. Parts went missing including the cargo doors and the rudder and the paint flaked off. INX eventually fell back on its tail and remained that way until scrapped in the early 1990s.

For some time TWA was 'Trans World Airline' rather than 'Airlines' and the TWA logo had an arrow through it. This C-54E, ex 44-9053, was in the TWA fleet between 1946 and 1951. The KLM DC-4 behind can be identified as PH-TAS Schiedam. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich

Skymasters acquired by KLM in 1945 received semi-military markings with orange triangle insignia as civil operation was still difficult on the route to the Far East. They were already inscribed in the civil register. NL-309, ex 42-107445, was PH-TAK but the civil mark was probably never applied as the aircraft was sold as G-AJPL in June 1947.

This aircraft had been parked along with another C-54 at North Weald for many years. There are plans, perhaps hopes, to return this to the air. The other aircraft, N31356 was scrapped in 2016
