Harold Bamberg, the man behind British Eagle, bought this DC-4 from Air Siam in 1973 with the hope of using it to start a new operation, Eagle Aircraft Services - but it was never to be. Allocated G-BBVN and later LN-NAC (for Norwegian Overseas Airways), the former National, JAL and TAA aircraft is seen on the Southend dump not long before final break-up This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
