Propellers at Ringway. 1964.

Here are a few images from July 1964 at Ringway. I have to say, the animation offered to us by props; moving parts, just super.

In the pic of the DC-6 we can see a Constellation. My notes do not identify it. Perhaps Skyways ?)

Skyways transferred their Constellations to Euravia in September 1962, retaining one on lease from Euravia until April 1964. So in 1964 a Constellation sat out on the apron edge would almost certainly be one of Euravia's. Euravia became Britannia Airways August 1964 on acquiring Britannia 102s from BOAC. Their final Constellation was retired August 1965.
