EI-ABV
Lockheed
14W-F62
(c/n 1497)
Aer Lingus acquired
two Lockheed 14s in 1939 to bolster their European routes.
Unfortunately
World War II
broke out and the limited services which the company was able to
sustain did not
justify the retention
of EI-ABV or its sister ship EI-ABW (c/n 1498). They were,
therefore, sold
to Guinea Airways in
Adelaide, Australia after a few months service. EI-ABV above
became
VH-ADW while EI-ABW wound up as
VH-ADY.
