                                                 Trans Canada was one the few airlines to use the Lockheed 14 (the so-called Super Electra, and
                                                 forerunner of the Hudson bomber) in any numbers.  Northwest Airlines was another.   TCA had
                                                16 of them.  CF-TCD was the first and was sold in 1948 in the UK, becoming G-AKPD.  On 29
                                                 October 1948 it left Croydon for a flight to Ciampino Airport, Rome and crashed off the coast of
                                                 the island of Elba.   The crew of two and two passenegers were killed.  The circumstances are not
                                                 known.
