Recently purchased by Iscargo at this time from Fred Olsen Air Transport where it was registered LN-FOL. Still showing signs of where the old titles and registration have been painted out. WFU in 1981 and broken up in 1983. Nose section preserved at the Icelandic Aviation Museum, Akureyri, Iceland.

With large Iscargo Iceland markings.

A common sight those days, the Iscargo DC-6 on standby at Rotterdam Zestienhoven. It was operating a weekly Rotterdam - Reykjavik cargo flight.

Arriving at Rotterdam Zestienhoven.

Back at Maastricht, now with titles.

Operated by Iscargo and seen here (without titles) just three months after delivery ex Fred Olsen LN-FOL. Originally N37592 with United Air Lines. Retired from service Apr 1980.

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

An earlier shot than the other two I've uploaded showing Iscargo's first paint job on this 1956 DC-6. Two DC-4s also visible, LN-MOB and HS-VGZ

A favourite DC-6 shot. B/u in Iceland 1983. See my other photo of TF-IUB on take-off for more info
