VH-KDK Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I found a skin for the DC-4 in the beautiful old Lufthansa colours. This flight is supposedly from LOWI to EDDM but will the old DC-4 be able to thread it's way through the mountains without disaster 1. Gisela and Ingrid marvel at the plane they are about to board. 2. Manfred is a seasoned flyer and is not at all concerned by the planes vintage. 3. Angelika voices her concerns to Wolfgang and doesn't want to board the plane while Kurt stands in disbelief as most Kurts do. 4. With the weather closing in and the distant rumble of thunder there is a strange atmosphere on the ramp amongst the baggage handlers. Or maybe it was the Sauerkraut Lasagne they had in the canteen at lunch. 5. Everyone is now aboard and the DC-4 taxies out to the runway. 6. Passing lines of modern aircraft which would be more suite for flying in todays weather. 7. Increasing the power and getting ready to release the brakes. 8. Off and over the Inn. 9. At Kematen in Tirol and the GPS has been activated. 10. Over the market town of Zirl before turning up the River Isar Valley. 11. "Heilige Klumpen von malliablem Mist." It appears our flight planners have may have got it wrong. 12. As the pilots strain on the controls could this be the end for this DC-4 and it's unsuspecting passengers. Look out for the concluding part of this story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taph Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Fine set, loved the commentary, and the music brought back memories of being allowed to stay up late to listen to Dick Barton on the radio. It's the second time recently that Dick Barton has come up drove past a Fish & Chip shop of that name, in the Mumbles, Swansea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Martyn, first of all, I almost woke up the wife with your sauerkraut comment I was laughing so loudly! One of your best set and narratives yet. This is the kind of stuff I really like, it has nice details a great old vintage plane, perfect scenery, and those conversations were excellent. Well done!

Cheers Jack and thanks for the great comment. I should have put the music first and suggested it was played while looking through the images. I am off to the kitchen now to make up some of that Lasagne, I will put some in the post for you to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Great shots and an outstanding narration you give us here.

Wow Martyn great shots. I am so glad the boys had the sauerkraut instead of Jacks fish Haggis. I'm sure it would've turned out badly for the latrines and mebby the entire flight. Thinking of the pilots in the cockpit and people on the ground since this old plane had a straight flush out toilets through the fuselage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Karl and cheers for the warning about the fish haggis. Also some worrying info about the plumbing on the DC-4, a 4 engine pelican perhaps! Gimme acid rain any day.
