EC-RRA Ford
4-AT-F
(c/n 4-AT-71)
Compañía
de Líneas Aéreas Subvencionadas (CLASSA) was the
nationalist airline formed
in Spain in 1929 under the
dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera. CLASSA itself
ceased
operations in 1933 becoming LADE. Anyway, CLASSAS's fleet
consisted of three Fokker
F.7b/3m airliners and this lone Ford built in 1931 as NC9656 and
exported to Spain under
the interim registration EC-W10 and then to -RRA. When
absorbed into LAPE it became
EC-BAB. It was finally withdrawn from use in
1940. The above rare shot came from
Iberia in the late 1940s when I was still an air Air Cadet.
