A converted Lockheed PV-1 Ventura, taxying along Heathrows southern taxiway, block 94/97 where Terminal 4 is now. The Howard 500 had a pressure cabin which spoilt the cockpit lines but gave it over the weather capabilities. Uprated DC-6B type engines were fitted which took the max cruise up to about 359 mph.
