    Looks like YouYangs which makes it Avalon.
    April 2005 is too a big a clue, that makes it Avalon 05.
    Bird is either a Lockheed Constellation or Super Connie but since there was only a Super Connie at Avalon it must be one of them. introduced into service 1951 so that makes it the same vintage as a 80"

    Well done guys. It was actually line up at Incheon, en-route to Busan for a paint job & then onto Jeju Island where she/he still rests today.



    The finished paint job.



    Arrival at Jeju. One of the best trips of my life, & just wish I had got to do the whole Nevada to Jeju instead of just Seoul to Jeju. Oh and if you think Land Rovers leak oil, well this Connie was a master, infact we had to place large buckets under each engine at everywhere we stopped.

    Cheers Nigel
