Found a huge version of that   photo. I don’t know much about the Beetle, but t hat’s most likely a DC-3 on the right, and a Bristol Superfreighter with the high wing in the background. The four-engine plane in the far back is an Avro York . According to one source, it was taken at Berlin Tempelhof in 1954. What a great shot!

Might be some issues towing a 747. Namely, the hitch being a different hookup standard.

I love how that DC-3 looks.

Thanks for the planespotting, y a nerd.
JK, I’m just jealous, I’d love to know about that stuff but it just hasn’t gripped me to that extent. Maybe that’ll change, who knows.

My pleasure, from a proud nerd! I had to do a little digging to ID those planes in the back. I recognized them, but wasn’t sure of the type. I googled “postwar British airliner.” Most of the British airliners of the 50s were converted from WWII bombers. The Brits had a lot of catching up to do in the area of civilian aviation, since they had put most of their efforts into bombers during the war.
