Receiving attention from BAF Engineering.

Here in the previous colours to those worn at the time of my photo #20489, this C-54 is now displayed in USAAF marks with its original serial of 44-9063 at Frankfurt Rhein-Main. After brief war service it was converted to DC-4 N88887 with Pan Am, HB-ILU with Swissair followed by Balair, then after Aer Turas ownership from 1969 to 1977 with Globe Aero reverting to N88887. In 1983 it was registered ZS-LMH with National Air Cargo, once more returning to N88887 in 1987 before sale to Liberia World Airlines as EL-AJP, again back to the N-reg at the end of 1988. Bought by the USAF Museum in 1990

This is the aircraft that is now displayed at the Luftbrücke Museum (Berlin Airlift Memorial) at Frankfurt airport.
