Can I hear tyre squealing as the Connie lands? Perhaps the newsreel guys added it in (maybe it was done on all aircraft landing films) or do the connie's tyres protrude under the aircraft.

 

And those HUGE flaps. Walked around and through the super constellation down at the albion park?? Aviation museum a while ago. Magnificent. And the navigator had to "shoot the stars" to get his position... Them was the days
