CV Metropolitan

I went to the Helsinki aviation museum yesterday and there is a CV440.

I noticed that it did not have deicing boots (quite surprised me) and surmised that hot air was used to antice the wing leading edge.

The guide, a good egg, suggested I was wrong.

Anyone here knows the definitive answer.

Google suggests I am right.

Maybe the Finnair ones were different.

Not trying to be a pain, just interested.
