OO-SDB Douglas
DC-6
(c/n 43064)
OO-SDC was one of five
DC-6s delivered to Sabena in 1947. Prior to the airline
re-registering
their aircraft into a "motif" scheme (i.e. 'S' for
'Sabena', 'D' for Douglas) in 1951 it was originally
OO-AWC. It is
seen above at Melsbroek in the mid 1950s in company with two BEA
Viscounts
and a similar Lufthansa
machine. In 1958 it was leased to Lebanese International
Airways as
OD-ACY and in 1965
sold outright to Spantax S.A. as EC-AZX. After a spell as
TI-A414B
it wound up on the US register as
N5594R. It appears to have been withdrawn from use in 1982.
