I believe theres one in the hanger at the Oaks ,

l was told it was the training aircraft of old.

I could be wrong as it was many years ago.

 I flew that one  a few times some years ago . A nice little machine and great fun . It was “ hung “ from the hangar roof for many years not airworthy and may now be at Wedderburn , although not 100% about that .

I don't remember the wing tanks on the ones at Heathrow.

I do remember that long nose gear set forward at just the right angle.

Whoever designed that aircraft made something very special.

 

Wasn't there a freight version with a reinforced floor...popular latterly in S America for various naughty activities???

I remember them too as a kid in the 60’s at LHR . I think the TWA examples without the wing tanks were L1649 Starliners , the last example of the Connie / Super Connie ever built , and a larger aeroplane all round . Oh happy days .
