…and a cockpit still from one of the youtube clips showing clearly the registration PP-XUI

Yes I do believe that you have it Wieesso. One of the blokes on the Irish forum told me that Aer Lingus operated a short-lived service to Ciampino using the Constellation so this is probably where it is. My father was with this particular flight as there is a picture of him in front of the aircraft. It is nice to get that one nailed down.

Thanks Old Git for your feedback! Good night!

Interesting with the left image is the fuel tanker:
“Standard Italo Americana Petroli” – they only had this brand name for a short time in 1950

I know – everything is done 😉

quote: “(probably a belly crash landing)” – :confused:

only roughly translated from a German source:

“One of the B-17 bomber (AF-Serial 42-39963 „Little Lulu “) was hit by an air defense cannon north of Berlin from the ground, still flew toward the south and crashed between 11.00 and 11.15 o’clock on this 5 December 1944 in the Kindelforest.(KU-report 3444). From the crew of nine only the navigator Samuel J. Culbert and the bomb contactor Arthur G. Dealy survived. These then probably came into war captivity. Some rubble parts fell also on Glienicker area, so for example one of the four radial engines.”
