I recently posted pictures to the MC Flickr group of a plane crash that happened near the MC Airport in the 1950s. Since the official 'tail number' was clearly visible I did a quick Google search and found an earlier picture of the same plane, and its history. Interestingly that history says it was destroyed in 1964 in Paraguay. Response to the pictures from airplane fans is puzzled. Clearly it is the same plane, and just as clearly it didn't get to Paraguay in 1964. You can check out the pictures and some of the resulting discussion on the MC Flickr group.

A remaining question is the exact date and circumstances of this crash. It was apparently after March 1953 when the earlier picture was taken. And it can't be much later than about 1955 from the context of the crash pictures and the place I found them in my parents partly organized slide box. Do any of you remember this or have any more information?
