SOS: Save a Skymaster

摘要

WITH the 70th anniversary of the start of the Berlin Airlift in 2018, a plan to rescue Douglas C-54D N44914 from oblivion at North Weald is now being formulated. The aircraft -which was operated by the US Navy as BuNo 56498 between March 1945 and April 1972 - arrived at the Essex aerodrome in September 2002, along with DC-4 N31356 for use in a film about the Berlin Airlift, which was destined never to go into production. Sadly, N31356 was scrapped in September 2015.
