DC-6 SM-6

Lyneham 31/03/1974
C-119 46-69

Lakenheath 12/7/1977
F-104G 03-02

Thanks for the F-104 tie up, much appreciated

A bit of further research shows that the DC.6 was MM61900. This was the only one ever coded SM-6 and I saw this as such in 1969. Refering to Frank McMeikens' Italian Military Aviation published by Midland Counties in 1984, I'd be pretty certain the your C-119's were MM52-6048/46-92, a C-119G (was coded such from 1965 to retirement in 1976) and MM51-8113/46-69. a C-119J (coded as such in 1972 until retirement)

Hope that helps
