Description |
English: American Aircraft in Royal Air Force Service 1939-1945- Consolidated Liberator. LB-30 Liberator, AL504 "Commando", the personal transport aircraft of the Prime Minister, photographed at Northolt, Middlesex, on returning to the United Kingdom, following extensive modification and a complete overhaul by the Consolidated Aircraft Company at San Diego, California. The main changes to the original airframe involved the fitting of a large single rudder and fin, and the extension of the fuselage by 7 feet. The interior was furnished to accommodate 20 passengers and was fitted with bunks and a stewards galley. AL504 flew with the Communications Squadron of No. 45 (Atlantic Transport) Group, Transport Command, until disappearing over the South Atlantic while flying from the Azores to Ottawa, Canada, on 26 May 1945. |

Licensing
editThis image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
