Hard to imagine this DC-6 in its glory days with Tasman Empire Airways and Pacific Western Airlines amongst others. Now carrying "Vusumzi - I Am, We Are" titles, Vusumzi apparently means "one who restores and builds the family". It has 'A Step Ahead' and 'Odysseus' titles on the other side under the fire practice scorch marks. The (ex) Westwind in front is (was) N89XL

Returning passengers to Antwerp after a day shopping excursion, this DC-6 suffered a nose-gear collapse when the F/E raised the undercarriage prematurely just after V1 the day before this photo was taken. 105 on board escaped unharmed after the aircraft skidded to a halt at the end of r/w 24. The tail damage was caused by debris thrown up by the propellers impacting the tarmac. Later scrapped at Southend.

Got a highly memorable ride on this from SEN to RTM - the Captain wanted to give the F/O some practice so he made him take off with his windscreen completely obscured by a clipboard. I recall the church at the end of Southend's 5250ft runway 24 looming up ahead and thinking this was starting to look very scary! Originally United's 'Cargoliner Chicago' (N37592) in 1956 and then to Fred Olsen as LN-FOL ten years after. Nose now preserved in Iceland

Heading out on another hurricane hunting mission, the modifications to this 1957-vintage DC-6 are clearly apparent here. Acquired in 1960 from Trans Caribbean, she was sold to Bellomy-Lawson six months after this shot and modified back to normal configuration. Painted in Challenge AT colours in 1979 and re-registered N98BL in 1983. Broken up at MIA in 1993 after a couple of years in storage
