Original C S Waterfall. Year is a guess and location is believed to be correct. From a correspondent - I believe this photograph is taken at Christchurch's Harewood Airport (as it was known) in the 1960's. This aircraft regularly flew between Christchurch and Antarctica in the 1960's. Behind the Constellation is a Douglas C-124 Globemaster.
