(2) Lockheed L-1049E-55 Super
Constellation (c/n 1049E-4580)
This nice shot is by Jennifer Gradidge taken at London
Heathrow in the late 1950s. The L-1049Es
were delivered in 1955 and
had a maximum passenger capacity of 109, although I doubt Qantas used
that density on their long
haul routes. This aircraft had been converted to L-1049G
status when this
photograph was taken,
being the high gross weight version with tip tanks. It was sold
in 1963 in the
US as N9714C.
