Two Super Connies for Australia
0 comment
Of all the aircraft ever built it has been said that the Lockheed Constellation is probably the most aesthetically pleasing airliner to have graced the sky.
When the Lockheed Constellation prototype made its first flight on January 9, 1943, who would have thought that fiftyyears later not one but two of these fine aircraft would be restored and flown to Australia. Ifall goes to plan, that is exactly what is going to happen later this year
This, coupled with the fact that Australia’s own airline, Qantas, operated the type very successfully for sixteen years, made it a desirable classic piston engined aircraft that the National Air and Space Museum of Australia (NASMA) was keen to obtain and preserve an example of before it was too late.
