And looking again at that photo and the discussion above re whether it's a standard Connie or a Super, I'm puzzled. All references to a Connie at Faro make it clear the aircraft was a Super-see this photo:

But the aircraft pictured by Peter-RB is
not a Super Connie: just look at the cockpit windows; and the cabin windows are round, not rectangular, as they would be on a Super. ie, it's a L-049/647/749. Can anyone shed any light on this?
