C-124 Globemaster
Max:
The "C-54" with Merlins was probably a York. One of the first Brit transport designs after WW-2. Supposed to be used by BEA and BOAC, they both rejected it. Rejected for flying characteristics, cost of operation, and poor payload. It was also a taildragger.
A lot of them were used on the "Air Bridge," but other than that I think only the RAF used them.
Now I have a trivia question for you or Vince: what was the "Air Bridge?"
Don't be a dork, don't fly a York.
Bill.
