Kom over denne saken (http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10301:dtm-to-offer-rare-dc-6b-a-home&catid=35:Aerospace&Itemid=107]) nettopp:
A rare Douglas DC-6B airliner will Saturday make its last flight from Swartkop airbase in Pretoria to an improvised airstrip at the Drakensberg Truck Manufacturers (DTM) facility at Pyramid, just north of Pretoria. Once there it will become a gateguard at the armoured vehicle builder.
In November 1961 she was sold to Transair Sweden AB and used for charter flights – including for Swedish United Nations peacekeepers flying to the Congo. In June 1965, she moved on to Braathens-SAFE, flying charter from Oslo and by some accounts took part in the “Biafran Airlift”, flying in support of those who supported the region's succession from Nigeria during a bitter 1967-1970 civil war.
Noen som kan finne ut hvilke SE- og LN- regs hun hadde?
Og her er video fra den siste landingen:
