Ahh….KLM Constellation’s!

This is the beautiful sight of Super Connie PH-LKE departing from Singapore one morning in 1963, just after a tropical storm.
Surely the most perfect looking airliner of all times.

The storm behind it makes me think of what interesting times they were for the crews in ‘the big props’ ….as they still couldn’t fly “over the weather” as we do nowadays!

Ah, thanks for the pic David ! 🙂 I do hope this will not be another “damp summer” in North Western Europe though… 🙁
