Looking worse for wear at the CPH fire service's training area, this former Sterling DC-6 served as part of the Nordic churches relief operations during the Biafran War in the late 1960s where they established a joint operation called Scan Church Aid. Later this was expanded to include the German churches and Caritas' relief operation in Joint Church Aid, JCA. JCA was colloquially known as Jesus Christ Airlines by the crews. Photographer unknown
