Air Ceylon leased this plane from 1956 - 1958 from the KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. Here's a nice article on this plane http://www.sundaytimes.lk/000625/plus7.html

I think the A6 on the deck qualifies it as a vintage aircraft photo.

I was fortunate to see a B-58 take off before dawn with full after burners in the late 1960s. A beautiful aircraft with a difficult career.

Very nice photos of very rare civil aircraft... Buckers, Fleet, Miles, Beech 18 (not so rare, but one of the greats), and a fabulous Dragon Rapide...

Just as an aside to this thread, it's worth noting that today is the 70th anniversary of the "Memphis Belle"'s crew becoming the first USAAF crew to complete a tour of operations.
Tonight is the 70th anniversary of the famous Dambusters raid by the RAF on the German hydro-electric dams.

Wow. Great bow shot. Looks to be a Lockheed S3 Viking perched
on deck. Love all these pics.

This is the Boeing Museum of Flight restoration center at Paine Field, Everett, WA. The FM2 Wildcat has been fully restored and flying for a while. The aircraft with the twin fins is a Vought F7U-3 Cutlass. I don't recall what the small blue aircraft is. At the far end of the hangar is a de Havilland Comet 4 undergoing restoration.
