Interesting article here:
Seems like this old girl just keeps on going.
Are there any folks out there who have first hand experience or knowledge of G-APSA when she flew for Eagle/British Eagle/Cunard Eagle?

You’d probably need a personal invitation from the pilot for that one, dude!

G-APSA.DOUGLAS DC 6
I worked on this aircraft in the sixties when it was with Cunard Eagle. We had four of our own sixes and leased I think two ZO. WJ. They were good aircraft. I have in my personal collection the owners plate for G-APSA when Eagle Airways first flew it and called it the Eaglemaster
You can see it on the Home of Eagle website www.britisheagle.net under G-APSA.
Its great to see it is still being cared for and flying.

quoting from the above website “it will also be revisiting its birth-place, Long Beach, to celebrate its 50th birthday on 13 June 2008, and will visit the Quebec air show on the way back home.”
Put my name down for one return first class sleeping berth for this flight please 🙂

‘Old Eagle’ will I’m sure.
It’s a funny how things seem to go full circle somtimes, ‘Old Eagle’ is my father – forty(?) odd years after he worked with the DC6 I’m working for Atlantique’s ‘sister’ company and see G-APSA from the office window every day.
