forerunner of the Hudson bomber) in any numbers. Northwest
Airlines was another. TCA had

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
