YU-AFD This DC-6 sits on the tarmac and forms a silhouette against the mountains. Before the Balkan conflicts of the early '90s Dubrovnik was a popular holiday destination and this propliner may well have been waiting to transport tourists back home. |

ZK-TEC (cn 2011) Little did these onlookers at Gate 6 know that this TEAL Electra "Akaroa" only had a few weeks left of its life. It was written off, fortunately without fatalities, in a landing accident at Auckland on 27 March 1965. Note the Safe Air Bristol 170 ZK-CAL in full flow behind. |

PP-PDX (cn 126) A nostalgic scene at Rio with VARIG Caravelle PP-VJC to the right (see photo 336731)and another Panair do Brasil aircraft DC-8 PP-PDS behind that. Two further Caravelles are present on the left, but these belong to a third operator, Cruzeiro do Sul. Also on the tarmac are a VARIG Super Connie, a Gulfstream 1 and three Fairchild Packets.

PP-VJC (cn 10) Delivered in 1959, this Caravelle is seen just three or four months before being sold abroad. It then travelled to France, Vietnam, Lebanon and Morroco before being donated to the Central African Republic as TL-AAI with whom it ended its days at Paris-Orly. Check out the background, including the Brazilian Air Force Harvards and Dakota. Probably taken in the November. |

CR-AIA (cn 10204) A couple of colonial visitors at Jo'burg. DETA was the forerunner of today's LAM, and this Friendship later found itself in Brazil where it was written off as PT-LCF in 1987. The Viscount behind belongs to Central African Airways, an airline jointly formed by Southern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Later in 1967 this airline was wound up and its assets divided up between Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Zambia and Malawi. |

ZK-BYD Probably photographed in the February, this SPANZ machine named 'Ernest Rutherford' was one of three Dakotas converted to 'Viewmaster' standard which had specially enlarged windows. This work was undertaken for the airline by Ansett, a major shareholder in the company which operated between 1962 and 1966. Thanks to Steve Lowe for sorting out the location. |

HA-MAE (cn 14803029) A rare glimpse of a Malev IL-14, taken in very wet and dull conditions, hence the camera shake. Delivered on 8 April 1958, this was an East German built example built in one of the VEB factories there. |
