Summary
[edit]DescriptionN3454 Douglas DC-4 LAVCO Libyan Avn Co TIP 08FEB69 (5561801213).jpg |
English: Sneaky photo taken at Tripoli in 1969. Built as a C-54A in 1944, this aircraft was delivered to the USAAF in Jun-44 as 42-72230. After the war was over, it was bought back by the Douglas Aircraft Company in Jun-46 and converted to civilian DC-4 standard. It was bought by Pan-Am in Mar-47 as N88922 'Clipper Radiant'. It was operated in Europe on Pan-Am's West German network connecting West Berlin to the rest of West Germany in the late 1940's and through the 1950's, being renamed 'Clipper Nurnberg' and later 'Clipper Dusseldorf'. In Jun-60 it was sold to Balair, Switzerland, as HB-ILC. In Mar-63 it moved to the UK when it was sold to Air Ferry Ltd as G-ASFY. The aircraft served with Air Ferry until Nov-68 when it was bought by International Aviation Development as N3454 and sold on to LAVCO in Feb-69 (presumably it had just joined them when I took the above photo). It was withdrawn from use (WFU) at the old Hal Far Airport on Malta in 1979 and broken up soon after, |
