A low-light shot taken at slow shutter speed judging by the blurred figure at extreme left. Originally delivered to Air India in 1948 as VT-CQS then sold to Qantas in 1951 as VH-EAF. It was used for the Royal Tour of Australia in 1954 then sold to BOAC as G-ANTF. In 1957 it went to the USA as N9816F and was leased as above. Restored as G-ANTF in 1964 to Ace Freighters and suffered 'minor damage' when it was landed wheels-up at Aden due to gear failure. Re-entered service until withdrawn at EGBE in 1967 and languished until set on fire in February 1970. Remains scrapped in 1971.
