    Notes: Mocked up to represent Eisenhowers VC-54 for a film about Marshall Tito. Taken at Belgrade during July 1990 from the cockpit of the Electra freighter in which I was flying from Heathrow, since towed to a different part of the airport and will hopefully be restored eventually by the museum.

    Destroyed in a crash.
    Summary: The airframe was written off. The accident occurred at Titograd Airport (TGD) (Montenegro) while landing. Narrative: Damaged beyond repair after belly landing. The aircraft was stored at Titograd (now Podgorica) and later donated to a Museum in Belgrade.
