Convair 240
I have searched various websites looking for Sabena CV240 pictures with no luck. Can anyone direct me to a site, or have pictures that I may download?
Just another number

The pictures that Notso pointed you towards are actually the CV-440, not the earlier CV-240. There are very few colour photos of the 240 available. There is a b&w one here
The CV-240 (Convairliner) was the worlds first pressurised twin-engined airliner. As well as Sabena, it was operated in Europe by Swissair, KLM and LOT. It was replaced by the larger CV-440 (Metroliner) as shown in Notsos link.

Operated Convairs for a very brief time...was always amused by the term used for the engine accessory vent door, which was spring loaded to the closed postion when the fire handle was pulled.
