To whom it may concern,
My father, John F. Gormly, was employed by Lockheed Aircraft in the mid1930's as a Mechanic. He was sent to Mozambique to assemble airplanes afterthey arrived by ship. I recently obtained these photos from my sister. She had be saving them all these years. I am doing family history, so everything is searched through and I get the photos.
CR-AAX is a Lockheed 14-H2 Super Electra, Its' C/N (construction number) is1508. It was delivered 2-6-1940. It was named DETA "Limpopo". It crashedat Inhambane November 14, 1941. I have no idea who the gentlemen are in the photo, none are my father. The photo appears to have been taken at the airport (aerodromo da Beira)
CR-AAZ is also a Lockheed 14-H2 Super Electra, its' C/N is 1511. It too wasdelivered 2-6-1940. It was named DETA "Rovumba". Two photos show it inpieces as it arrived off the ship, the third photo show the completedproduct. It was withdrawn from use in 1954. Once again I have no idea whothe are the gentlemen standing in front of the completed airplane, none aremy father.
The website "golden years of aviation" was a great source of informationregarding airlane registrations.
