Movie question: The Italian job
In the original 1969 'Italian job" movie there is a scene at an airport (Turin?) where the gold is removed from a "freighter" by lowering it from what looks like a bomb-bay.
It is a four engine (radial piston engines) type with unusual cockpit glazing. Anyone out there can tell me what it is please, and the Airline? Did it really have a bomb-bay type arrangement for cargo or was that just a device for the movie? |

Try Google/Wikipedia. Aeronaves de Panama I think. Ciarain. |

Thanks all. I suppose I might have known this had been covered before. All the answers are at
Goleta Air and Space Museum: Douglas C-74 Globemaster Was the "freight loading elevator" unique to the C74? It was certainly a gift to the movie-maker as a dramatic means to unload gold. |
Cargo Lift
No, some, if not all the C97 range had them. Not sure about the "K" range though.
