Ah, thanks for that. It IS a DC-6. Must take an aircraft recognition refresher course.

Re: 1950s Air Travel
I flew from the UK to Hong Kong the first time on a prop plane - not sure what - probably a Boeing. It took three days with stops to refuel along the way. I was only a kid but I remember how bumpy it was and how much my ears hurt.
A few years later we flew by Trident and it took a day and a half.
I think it is 17 hours now.

Those were the days, my friends. The Super Connie was the ultimate in piston powered airliners.
An all around gorgeous flying machine.

Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I have a 1/72 scale kit of that (unassembled) that you will prise from my cold, dead fingers. 
Oddly enough, I also have a kit of the DC-6 that I bought at the same time.
