.....Into the wild blue yonder......

Pictured at Shannon Airport.......

Sunday 27th August 1961 as near as I can guess, might be a couple of days out, just before we returned home to London by Train and Ferry.

 

Lockheed Super Constellation L1049H, registration N1008C

Seaboard World Airlines London Airtrader

She was leased to Aer lingus from 1958 to 1960 and her livery is still that of Aer Lingus, except for "Seaboard & Western" which

has been added to the fuselage in place of Aer Lingus......

 

I searched the Internet for information and was lucky enough to find pictures of

N1005C, N1006C, N1007C and N1009C

all from the same timescale......

I would guess that this aircraft is now scrapped.........

 

Taken with a 35mm borrowed camera, I think from my late eldest sister.

Scanned with Epson V300 Photo from original photograph, note the creases, I think that the negative is lost.

 

I am happy to allow my work to be copied, and place no restrictions on them, provided that they are for your own personal records, or if displayed are credited to the copyright owner......
