We thought that the photo might raise a snigger or two and so did Terry Judge who sent it in. The one on the left is LV-MAA, a Fleet 2 with US c/n 202, formerly N632M and R-147, pictured at Errecaborde emergency field, Mar del Plata, Argentina in summer 1956. It comes via Giancarlo Garello in Italy and Terry Judge in Canada as a true example of internationalism! The one on the right appears to be tied to the aircraft, maybe its to stop her playing football...

Gerard Terry wants to know if anyone recognises the scene here. It shows a Lockheed Electra with Luftwaffe personnel strolling by. Could it be ex LOT, LARES or perhaps Aeroput? Any suggestions?
The Lockheed Electra photo is identified by Thomas Willis as having been taken in Rumania, probably about 1942/3. Three LARES Electras had streamlined DF aerials like the one in the photo, YR-LEE, -LEF and -LEG, so it may be one of these, however five ex-LOT Electras were operated by the Rumanian Air Force from 9.39.
