These are LP-2J Neptunes operated by Antarctic Development Squadron
Six (VXE-6).

Image 1536 also shows a C-54Q and C-121J operated by the same folks.

More on VXE-6 - http://www.vaq34.com/vxe6/vxe6aircraft.htm

Neat stuff!

Lockheed Neptune.

Try using a soft bristle brush on your slides before scanning :-) I
know my scanner picks up every little cat-hair and dust speck even when
I think the slide is clean. Oh, and I have to make sure the scanner
glass is clean too :-)

Not my pictures or scans. Belong to a friend, they were his fathers. He just
sent me the pictures so I could get them ID'd.
Thanks for your help Alan

Thanks Bob, Thats exactly what they will be. They were taken at Harewood
Airport, (Now Christchurch International Airport) Christchurch, New Zealand
probably in the late 50's early 60's. Operation Deep Freeze ran from that
field. A friend sent them to me along with some pictures of a Connie and a
couple of Globemasters. I might see if I can get the originals off him and
clean them up and do some new scans

Ok I'm not trying to argue, I'm no real expert, but if you look at picture
#1537, The aircraft on the left appears to have US markings.
Thats what I was going on

Heavens, OOps again. Having had another look at the photos, they do seem to
have been taken at Wigram Airbase as the VXE-6 site says thats where they
were based. Christchurch had two airfields in those days. Wigram, which was
the Airforce base and Harewood which is still the commercial base. The
Airforce base has been closed and sold off but there is still some of the
hangars there and an Airforce Museum.

Harewood used to also house Deep Freeze in the late 60's and 70's and I
remember there was a large Hangar which could be seen from the road with
VX-6 or VXE-6 painted in huge letters on the end. Deep Freeze was a combined
Naval/Air Force thing. Damn, how did I get into all this :-)

But can anyone identify the contents of this nose?

And that is a question I never thought I'd ask.

is not a Herc, but a C-133 CargoMaster

don't know about the aircraft, but it does look like 'Ursela' in the bomb seat
- See the US movie "Super Troopers" by Broken Lizard for more info.

Thank you John. Hell I never realized this was going to be so complicated.
As I said I'm not that knowledgeable which is why I came to where I knew the
experts are :-)
Many thanks to all of you that responded.

Not a problem, not many folks have ever seen the C-133.

If you get the original slides and clean them up, would love to see
a high-rez version of the both the Herc and the C-133.
can,t read the serial numbers in the ones you already put up..

Thanks...

Oh - then you don't need another cat-hair producer, then... guess
I'll keep her. ;^}
