This DC-6 was originally delivered to Civil Air Transport - CAT as B1006 in September 1958 and went on to fly with Royal Air Lao (as XW-PFZ), Southern Air Transport (N93459) and TransContinental (N93459) before joining Air Atlantique in March 1987 as G-SIXC. In 2011 that registration was cancelled and it was converted into a restaurant at Coventry - Baginton (CVT) but was placed into storage at St. Athan in August 2021. In 2025 it is owned by GJD Services Ltd in its yard adjacent to SWAM.

Delivered to the USAF as MATS C-118A 53-3279 in August 1955; via MASDC to the US Navy as 533279 in March 1976. Again to MASDC in February 1985 (8C041) and placed on display, marked 0-33279. To N578AS in 1986 and operational in Florida early 1990s. Bought by Nighthawk Air Systems in 1995, leased to the Radial Reminiscence Preservation Group in Oakland (CA) for restoration in full United colours. Back to Nighthawk after lack of funds, flown to Texas, CofA renewed twice for NX578AS and eventually stored here. Just United's Mainliner Oakland emblem remains on the nose. Seen from outside the field.

In September 1991 this aircraft was acquired by the Namibian company West Air Aviation, registered V5-WAC and used to support World Food Program relief efforts in Angola flying out of Rundu Air base in Northern Namibia. This operation was halted in 1994 and in July that year the aircraft was reported damaged beyond repair in a landing accident "somewhere in Namibia". Some reports state that it was registered 9Q-CVK at the time of the accident, a registration also carried by 2 different HS Andovers and a Lockheed Electra!
