The first Convair-Liner delivered to a foreign airline is shown here. The high-speed, 40-passenger, pressurized transport, flown by a Trans-Australia Airlines crew, will be ferried to Australia. The TAA plane will follow a 20,00-mile route across the Atlantic, Europe, Africa, and India. A four-day stopover will be made in London, where British aviation officials will inspect the plane.
