MarkYoungCrewChief Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 I'm looking for a photo, preferrably in color, of the DC-6B in which Dag Hammarskjold was killed near N´dola in Zambia, 18 Sept, 1961. The aircraft, C/N 43559, coded SE-BDY, was operated by Transair of Sweden and was under charter to the UN at the time. The aircaft was nicknamed "Albertina". I have Googled the web and images and have found very little on this, other than a reference that the aircraft was in UN markings, whatever that means. My search turned up one b&w photo taken in 1956, but I need one taken of the aircraft in the markings she was wearing when she crashed. Any assistance you can provide will be appreciated.
RobMorales Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Mark, I haven't found anything matching, but this page seems to have some related information. I would suspect that the aircraft was overall white with "ONU" (Organization des Nations Unites) on it. Congo was a former Belgian colony and French was the predominant language. My link Hope this helps!
