Arrival of Dutch emigrants from the Christchurch race on the Harewood airfield, New Zealand, 1953.

See the movie: Bride flight

Even een open deur intrappen: het is een toestel van KLM, meer precies DC-6A met registratie PH-TGA en gedoopt Dr Ir M H Damme.

De filmster uit Bride Flight (van Atlantic Airways, dus niet de originele van KLM) zag er zo uit:

In 2007 an airworthy vintage DC-6 of Air Atlantique was painted as KLM DC-6A Liftmaster "Dr. Ir. M.A. Damme" for the filming of the movie "Bride Flight".

This picture was taken at Hamburg Airport in September 2007:

Thanks for the picture! It's great to compare the two.

After passing through a series of operators, this aircraft (PH-TGA, Douglas Serial No. 44076/391) would meet its end after an in-flight engine fire resulted in a non-fatal landing accident at San Juan Airport (SLJN) in San Juan, Bolivia on February 6, 1974. At that time the aircraft was owned and operated by ALCON (Aerolineas Comerciales Nacionales) with the registration CP-947. Due to the damage sustained (nose gear collapse and forward fuselage), the aircraft was written off.

I believe this photo was taken at Arlanda, not Bromma. The background matches photos taken at ARN, such as this one: www.airliners.net/photo/Finnair/Sud-SE-210-Caravelle/0086... In any case the aircraft is a DC-8 and I doubt that this large jet type would have been able to safely operate from the short runway at Bromma.

Crikey, umbrellas for passengers - you would not see that nowadays...

I love the Airport Luggage Cart, design!

Härlig nostalgi......

Caption should be corrected to reflect that this is a Convair 640, as evidenced by the Rolls Royce Dart turboprop conversion from its original Convair 340 configuration.
