The Belgian road trip continues on from my previous posts, with a visit to the terminal's excellent open viewing balcony. However, there were only two aircraft to photograph. The first was this German Cessna with 'WDL' airline titles; D-IAGL, WDL, Ostend, 25 Aug 75 (2) w by Philip Pain, on Flickr The second aircraft made the whole trip worthwhile! G-AOFW (42-72246 C-54A), Big John, Startrekin 75, Ostend, 25 Aug 75 (1) w by Philip Pain, on Flickr G-AOFW (42-72246 C-54A), Big John, Startrekin 75, Ostend, 25 Aug 75 (2) w by Philip Pain, on Flickr Complete with "Startrekin 75" logos, this 1942 vintage C-54A Skymaster was thinly disguised as an ATL Carvair. It had also flown with Pan Am as a DC-4 named "Clipper Panama" reg N88919; then Alitalia as I-DALV; California Eastern Airlines as N1436V; Air Charter/BUA as a DC-4 reg G-AOFW; moving on to Iberia as EC-AVD; before going to ATL at Southend in 1965 to become the 12th Carvair conversion. This wasn't the end of this Belgian road trip, but I switched completely to 35 mm Kodachrome 64 slide film, so no more B & W negatives to be found, scanned and restored.
