ZK-ANB  Lockheed 18-56 Lodestar                           (c/n   2383)

                                 

                                     This machine was built as a C-60A for the USAAC with serial number 42-55946.  It went to
                                     the RNZAF as NZ5309 and was sold to Union Airways in 1946.  My shot shows it with NZNAC,
                                     circa 1950, named "Karuwai".  Like most of NZNAC's Lodestars ZK-ANB was repatriated back
                                     to the US in the early 1950s.  This one became N4640V.  It went to Canada as CF-IAX with Gulf
                                     Radair and then went to Lear's at Santa Monica in 1958 to be converted into a Learstar, returning to
                                     Canada as CF-BAL for the British-American Oil Company.  It was reported to be active in Canada
                                     as late as 1990.
