Treadigraph, thank you, very interesting.
Years ago i had a book called Shadows about the Biafran war which i found a fascinating read..
I can remember seeing the MATS Connie when it came to the UK.Aeroplane Monthly had a picture of the Connie with me and my pal examining the undercarraige.Happy days.

Shadows is an excellent read. Ah, visits by the MATS and Breitling Connies - heaven!

I see the Cavok UR- AN-74 is still laid on the airfield with a bit of wing missing.
