Classic picture. The diagonal stripe tail was substituted later for horizontal stripes when marketing decreed that that diagonals were off putting to passengers!! Out of interest can anyone say where the DC7CF, presumably a Heathrow diversion, had originated? At that time the usual KLM freighter for Heathrow from Amsterdam was a Dak.
Transatlantic flights which could not get into Amsterdam used Manchester as a diversion point. One glorious Saturday in the early 1960s saw two Connies and a DC7C and we just missed out on a DC8 which was later and had enough fuel to hold as the fog lifted.
