    Wayhay - aircraft! (Thanks Carol). As noted, this is a Lockheed Super Constellation. Given the number (16C) on the forward undercarriage, this was very likely N9716C, a Lockheed Super Constelllation L-1049E with c/n 4545. Starting out as a Qantas aircraft in the 1950s, it was leased (and later bought) by Capitol International Airlines (CL) in the early 1960s. It was retired in the late-1960s/early-1970s. As with other Capitol Lockheed's this was probably on it's way through SNN on a run from the US to Germany.

    This is the New York Seaplane Base (aka "Babylon Seaplane Base") located in the Dalton Point section of Babylon, Long Island, on Midway Street. See: Long Island Airports, by Joshua Stoff, Arcadia Publishing (2004), ISBN 0738536768, 9780738536767 books.google.com/books?id=ukaOiywl1b4C&pg=PA25&lp... This other photo in the SDASM photo stream was apparently taken at the same location and same time.

    Since this location has been identified, you need to change the title and remove this from the "need identification" album.

    Are you surprised? Those are "iron lungs" of Guinness and there was carousing for months afterwards and the journo's were the leaders in the field! Seriously it really is a surprise that there is no mention in the papers, big event then and now!

    maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,650005,750028,7,9 Down's Bog Crossing/46th Mile Box was between Killucan Station and Baltrasna Crossing. www.industrialheritageireland.info/TikiWiki/tiki-index.ph... There is another NLI photo on IrishRailwayNews irnirishrailwaynews.yuku.com/topic/2203#.TzkKbVGRKSo
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie That's what I would have thought, but I tried a range of wide and narrow search terms and came up empty! Are you being poetic, or is/was "iron lungs" a nickname for the Guinness barrels?
  • Swordscookie said:
    When they changed over to aluminium from wood there were a number of stories in the news of people who were being kept alive in "iron lungs" which did the breathing for them and so the metal kegs became known as "iron lungs as a result. I see that master of research blackpoolbeach has come up with more information on the incident including some of your photographs!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    blackpoolbeach I know this is not in quite the right spot, but I find it very difficult to get co-ordinates from these OSI maps (brilliant as they are!). Do you know how to get lat and long from them that will suit any normal map, like here on Flickr or on Google Maps? Their X and Y do not compute with me, I'm afraid... :(
