Saludos,
Regarding non-payment of your photos published in 1985 !
You have about as much chance of getting paid for your work as you have of seeing a sour faced Michael O'Leary when he is banking his cheque for his Aeroplane M......y articles.
Just join the queue of ripped contributors.
I am just one of thousands.
No doubt a celebration party will take place when his day comes.

To put the record straight, it's the last flying CIVIL Connie in the world. All others in the L749/1049 series are retired military.
Note that the L1649's are also civil but very itinerant flier/s.
The engines are repairable, too.
G'day

The Airline History Museum's website seems to be very optimistic about getting the damages repaired and flying the Connie again in the future. check www.airlinehistorymuseum.com
