slide scan from the NK collection. - Finnair operated nine Convair 440s between 1953 and 1980; six came new from Convair's San Diego factory, one was acquired second-hand from Alitalia, and two were transferred from Karair. OH-LRF was built in 1957 and made a winter visit to Munich-Riem in old Finnair colours. Eventually, the airframe was registered as CP-2256 and lost during an emergency landing in Bolivia in September 1993.

slide scan from the NK collection. - Finnair operated nine Convair 440s between 1953 and 1980; six came new from Convair's San Diego factory, one was acquired second-hand from Alitalia, and two were transferred from Karair. OH-LRF was built in 1957 and made a winter visit to Munich-Riem in old Finnair colours. Eventually, the airframe was registered as CP-2256 and lost during an emergency landing in Bolivia in September 1993.

Originally a Convair 340 with United Airlines 1956-60, Allegheny Airlines (1960 - 77) converted this aircraft to a 580 in 1966. A freighter circa 1977, it's pictured while with Jetall (1990 - 96). The aircraft is currently registered to Nolinor Aviation as C-FAVW, but out of service as the airline's Convair 580s are scrapped.
