CONSTELLATION
| This table is a complete listing of all Australian Constellations and Super Constellations with their previous and subsequent identities. Each aircraft in the table is linked to a separate page listing the full history of that aeroplane. The only exceptions are the five Super Constellations (VH-EAQ/R/S/T/U) shown as (ntu) which were ordered by Qantas but subsequently cancelled. For these aeroplanes, only a brief history is shown in the table, there being no separate page. |
