Hi,
I watched the classic Italian Job last night, no not the modern version but the original one with Michael Cane. Don’t like the look of the newer style Minis so I probably won’t watch that version.
Okay on to the aviation part of this post.
What was the four engined prop job that delivers the gold at the airport? It didn’t look familiar as it had a bug eye style cockpit.
This isn’t a quiz as I don’t know the answer…

Is it not a Globemaster I?

One of a pair that used to be regulars at Heathrow in the 1960s when owned by a Panamanian cargo airline.

Douglas C-74

Only the earliest C-74s had the twin “bug-eye” cockpits, later models had a single wider cockpit.

Italian Job
The Globemaster languished at Turin-Caselle airport until it disappeared in the early Seventies. Must have a photo and story somewhere.

Douglas C-74 Globemaster I -it was sadly scrapped a few years after the making of the film. A really good looking aircraft!
