    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 one of my favourite airplanes! I cycled out to Shannon or even Rineanna especially to see them way back in the 1950's!

    Is Shannon Airport not in Co. Clare?
  • derangedlemur said:
    Sharon Corbet The NLI has a proud history of treating all counties on the western seabord (in fact, more or less anywhere outside the Pale) pretty much interchangeably.

    derangedlemur Sharon Corbet As a Limerick native who has heard my fellow citizens claim Shannon on more than one occasion only to be shot down in flames by irate Clare men and women I was waiting for that! Shannon is of course in Co. Clare. The plane is a Super Constellation and I always considered it the most beautiful and elegant of the airliners!
