Identify this aircraft?

[Tyre Smoke]

Crashed on the golf course in the Falklands in the sixties.

I'm thinking Convair 880?

I can’t find any reference to a Convair 880 having had such an incident on the Falklands. Hmm.

[Tyre Smoke]

No, me either.

It was an internal flight in Argentina from Bahia Blanca to Rio Gallegos when it was hijacked by a blonde lady toting a gun and 200 Durex. It crash landed on the racecourse (not golf course) out side Stanley.

It's thought to be a DC-4, but it doesn't look right for that. It looks like a two engined jet, not a four engined prop.

[Tony1963]

Yep. That’s the story.

Definitely a DC4. Zoom in on the right wing. Two engines there.

My initial thoughts were DC-4 or C-54.

Wiki comes up trumps

Not sure what 200 condoms were for though!

Maybe she was planning a long and active stay....

I was thinking DC-4 or DC-6.

For reference here's a better picture of a DC-4/C-54
