Painted orange-yellow with red trim, Shell's NC926Y was built in 1930, when Lockheed was a Detroit Aircraft company. It is seen here at the opening of Vancouver's airport on Sea Island with, left to right, Mayor Taylor, Shell chief pilot John Macready and BC Premier Tolmie. The Vega ended up in Lithuania.
