Interflug62M… the terrace you can see above the Tridents nose was for passengers and friends accessed from the Forte’s cafe/restaurant on the left, which was at the top of central staircase in T2

VeeOne…not a Viscount…not a Carvair the nose would stand out…I’d go for a DC-7C freighter with a rear door or maybe a DC-6 freighter….doesn’t look like Pan Am (for cargo Pan Am TWA Air Canada and KLM were still using the Northside , …BEA/BOAC? used the centre and Seaboard/BUA? used the Hunting Hangar area on the southside in those days, I think )…….

Looking at the engine nacelles I would say it’s definitely not a Ventura and looks more like a P&W Twin Wasp variant (Hudson V/VI or A-28/28A) than a Cyclone variant which might reduce the field

Hallo VeeOne…..AFAIK Lufthansa never used a DC-6 but a Google search for Lufthansa DC-6 brings up a photo of a leased Transocean DC-4 in full Lufthansa colours but the timeframe is 57-59 so it doesn’t fit

Lufthansa oddities in the 50s/60s were the DC-4, a Viking, a DC-8 and for quite a while C-46s from Capitol Airways some in Lufthansa markings

Amazing variety of operators…thank you for these

Photographed from the eastern edge of the ground enclosure, Heathrow Central ca.1955-1957 from the white-tail Argonauts on the Northside?

But which turboprop of sufficient power would have been ready for a production Turbo-Ambassador, Ken?
