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.

This DC-6 was acquired by Air Atlantique a couple of months before this shot and used for spares. Here luckily still carrying the full colours of Greenlandair with whom it had operated as OY-DRM "Sululik" from 6.72, the titles were soon removed. She was originally Canadian Pacific's CF-CZS from 4.57 and had a earlier UK connection when leased to BUA 1962-64 (G-ARXZ); ended up being broken up at MSE in 4.85
