Photo Comment

Southend attracted more than its fair share of exotic propliners seeking the attentions of ATEL and this C-54 was no exception. Of 1944 vintage, she went to KLM in 1945 and France's TAI in 1948. Bought by Air Afrique 1966 and sold to Air Comores after the Southend overhaul as F-OCSV. Lastly to SOACO as TR-LUT in 1975 and wfu two years later, then broken up
