"City of Renton" on display at The Museum of Flight in vintage United Air Lines colours. The aircraft was built as a 247 and delivered in 1933 to Pacific Air Transport. It was taken into UAL on 1 May 1934 and went back to Boeing for conversion to a 247D, re-joining the fleet in Aug 1935. With the advent of the DC-3, UAL's 247s were sold to other operators. This aircraft served with the RCAF, later flying in Latin America. It went back to the USA, serving as a crop sprayer and cloud seeder. Restored to airworthy status, it flew for the last time on 26 Apr 2016.

Delivered to United Air Lines in 1933 as NC13340, first as a Boeing 247, converted to 247D in July 1935. To the CAA (predecessor of the FAA) in 1942 as NC18. Sold in 1947, to N18 in 1949, and served with various companies. Reregistered as N18E in 1953. Acquired by the Wings and Wheels Museum at Orlando, FL in 1977. The museum closed in December 1981, and the Boeing was bought by the Science Museum in a Christie's auction. An epic delivery flight then took this rare aircraft through Reykjavik, Dublin and Cardiff on 29/30 July 1982. The final leg to Wroughton was flown on 3 August 1982.

The Boeing 247 at the start of the London - Melbourne race. The text below the aircraft name reads 'Col. Roscoe Turner - Aviation Adviser to Warner Bros. Studios'. Race number is 5, while 57 refers to Heinz's 57 ketchup varieties. The flamboyant 'Colonel' Turner's fantasy uniform 'afforded considerable amusement' among the British public. The co-pilot was Clyde Pangborn - see photo 488490. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)
