Photo Comment

In 1969 two Lockheed Super Constellation were bought by relief organisations providing food support for war torn Biafra. They flew daily from the island of Sao Tome. After the whole operation the airplanes were left on the island. Since 1970 the airplanes have remained in open storage in an area next to the airfield. By now they have been made part of a restaurant/music venue called Asas d'Avião, only open for special events. This Constellation is almost completely built-in, this photo was taken from outside the venue.
