A
Lockheed Super Constellation believed to be VH-EAG. The date and location
are unknown but it appears to be a US airport, perhaps Honolulu. The
insert is an enhanced view of the NLG door which appears to show traces
of the letter G. If this is VH-EAG, the photo was probably taken during
the ferry flight to Burbank after the aircraft was sold in May 1963.
VH-EAG was the last Super Constellation to serve with Qantas and sadly
it was ferried directly to the breaker's yard. Most sources state that
the aircraft was not allocated a US registration while some state that
it became N93166. The latter case, if true, would explain the removal
of the Australian registration. Picture: Qantas Heritage Collection
