Hi Bob

Pics of Air Atlantique Sixes are not rare but G-SIXB and G-SIXA (which I don't think went into service) are rare.

A lot of folks don't realised that they had DC 6's prior to the very common G-SIXC and G-APSA.

Hi Bob

This thread is about G-SIXB not the common current ones..the old rare one...which also has a pic on Airliners.net

We know about Airliners.net and the current fleet. :lol:

A new pic turned up on an auction site.........hence this thread.
