Growing up in Southend when the Carvair was still an everyday sight, it was great to catch up with one of the two survivors, the last of 21 built. I remember seeing her being converted from DC-4 VH-INM in ATEL's hangar in 1968. Resuming service with Ansett-ANA, she later went to Nationwide in NZ and Hawaii Pacific Air before going to S Africa in 1996. Bought by Phoebus in 2002 ('Exclusive' titling was from a cigarette brand) and last flew JNB-QRA 25.6.05. Engines recently refitted and not looking too bad but has remained for sale in increasingly poor condition

When they stripped all the layers of paint from 'DC for its freight-only career 'au naturel', it was said that they gained about 10% extra payload. Behind is G-AOFW which for a while was a candidate for preservation

"Big Louie" eases onto SEN's runway 06. I grew up 3 miles out along that approach path in the Sixties and have the Carvair and the other classic props of the time to thank for firing my aviation interest

This, the 10th Carvair conversion, was delivered to BUAF in 8.63 but immediately went to work with Alisud in Italy for six months. Changing name from "Channel Bridge" to "Big Joe" when BUAF became BAF in 1967, she was bought by TAR in 3.69 but leased back in 4.72, reverting to G-ASKG with BAF in 3.73. To Congo 2.75; broken up as 9Q-CTI at Kinshasa in 1995

After withdrawal in the late 1970's there was a hope she'd be preserved but despite a campaign led by a BAF Captain, sadly "Big John" was broken up in 12.83, closing an important chapter of Southend history
