A few late 1940s pics (civil)

My Dad was a First Officer on DC 3s with Aer Lingus and I have unearthed a bunch of his photos taken between 1946 to 1949. I am not sure how these will come out but here goes. 3 were taken at Northolt and the DC 3 at Speke was one he had come in on and was being turned around for its return to Dublin.

I would love to see some more.So much more interesting than the usual Duxford/Old Warden overdose we have on here these days

Hi,

Really nice to see these old photos. What is the first aircraft?

Thks Alex, I have around 100 or so that my dad took during the same period at Dublin, Shannon, Le Bourget, Northolt and Liverpool including Pan Am. BOAC, Aer Lingus Constellations, American Overseas DC 3s, Argentinian registered Avro York, Swedish Airlines DC 4 etc – a glorious era of flying.
