Hawaiian
Airlines Convair 640 N5510K (c/n 76)
The above
image is from the Mike Sparkman collection and shows is one of seven
Convair
640s operated by HAL in the mid
1960s. The Convait 640 was to the 340/440 series, what
the Convair 600
was to the earlier 240. i.e. a Convair 440 fitted
with Rolls Royce Dart
R.Da 10/1 engines became
the 640. Five of the original nine 240s were so
converted, and
a couple more
were picked up later on. This is the same
machine as shown in the entry for
the 340 (fleet #
28). It was
sold to Zantop International Airlines in 1973 as
a freighter.
