Summary

[edit]
Description

C-54A G-AREK (ex D-ADAL) was one of two Carvair conversions for Intercontinental US, ordered for operations on a United Nations contract within what was then The Congo. They were finished as pure freighters, with strengthened floor and without the rear passenger cabin and its rectangular windows. It was delivered to Intercontinental in Luxembourg in Nov 1962 as N9757F, but within a month was transferred to their subsidiary, Interocean Airways, as LX-IOG. The UN contract ended in mid-1963 and in Sep it had the passenger cabin and windows installed at Southend by ATL. I shot it at Southend on another visit on 4 Oct 1964 – the open nose door reveals the original “crew comfort” chemical toilet still installed! In 1973 the aircraft was restored to the British Register as G-AREK with BAF at Southend.
