Canadair Argonaut/ North Star freighters
Dear All,
C/n 160 G-ALHN was apparently "modified" after BOAC service prior to delivery to Overseas Aviation by Marshalls at Cambridge to a freighter config. Photos prove this did not include a freight door, she flew for some time with Overseas and Flying Enterprise mainly on IT passenger flights and the occasional freight run. What was the nature of the modifications in early March 1960? C/n 134 CF-TFJ was converted to freighter configuration during service with Trans Canada Airlines what was the nature of the conversion, did it include a freight door? C/n 147 CF-TFU was converted to freighter configuration during service with Trans Canada Airlines what was the nature of the conversion, did it include a freight door? Photo evidence exists of the starboard side showing the windows either blanked out or painted over. Did these two remain pressurised when flown as freighters? It is possible that as many as 4 saw freighter service with Trans Canada C/n126 TFB fleet 202 C/n134 TFJ fleet 210 C/n147 TFU fleet 221 C/n149 TFV fleet 222 Hope someone can help, Does anyone have port side rear photos of any of these aircraft, please Thanks for your time and trouble. Be lucky David A.K.A. "The Avgasdinosaur"
