This is as good a shot as it's possible to get of this nice exhibit, thanks to the wing of the adjacent Caribou. Originally 42-72261 and one of 17 Skymasters operated by the Spanish AF; 15 were still in use till 1976

My first trip to the legendary Villavicencio was aboard this wonderful old machine. Had the choice of a DC-3 or DC-4, both delayed by bad weather over the mountains. Well looked after by a very pleasant crew, the FAC pilots just like they were out of a WW2 B-17

This, the 10th Carvair conversion, was delivered to BUAF in 8.63 but immediately went to work with Alisud in Italy for six months. Changing name from "Channel Bridge" to "Big Joe" when BUAF became BAF in 1967, she was bought by TAR in 3.69 but leased back in 4.72, reverting to G-ASKG with BAF in 3.73. To Congo 2.75; broken up as 9Q-CTI at Kinshasa in 1995
