Mosquito PR.IV DZ411 used by BOAC between late Dec 1942 to Jan 1945. Heavily used on the so called "Stockholm Run" speed flights between 1943 - 44 transported valuable cargo such as ball bearings, but also now and then people. Stig

Consolidated LB-30 Liberator Mk IIs including AL507 (5th built for the RAF's Coastal Command) @ San Diego's Lindbergh Field ca. '41. (Note longer nose section a la the B-24D and Curtiss Electric props.) AL507 was later re-designated G-AHYC and served as a BOAC freighter for ferrying RAF aircrews to the US to pick up later RAF Liberators. After the war, it was converted into a commercial transport and served until bellying in @ RAF Ayr / Heathfield (near Prestwick) in 1946. (AL507's slightly older brother Liberator Mk II AL504 became Churchill's personal transport "Commando".)
