"Luzern" was the first Swiss Air Lines DC-4 to visit Manchester when it replaced the usual DC-3 because of heavy passenger bookings. It stopped overnight on the 1938 apron and is seen wearing the original all-metallic scheme. HB-ILO served SR from 30 April 1947 until it was lost on an overshoot at Schiphol on 14 December 1951.
