Used to love watching the 6B's take off from Moresby airport in the early 60's...the oil exhaust from each engine at start up would totally envelop the plane... don't see that in these clips..
At 1st these films look like mid to late 20th century footage with recent audio overlayes. But the film matches the audio exactly, I'm not used to seeing such good quality archival footage.
The steady drone of those P&W 2800's was a comforting sound in those days. Push the seat back and sleep for hours.
And a ice cold scotch on the rocks and a Pall Mall in the ash tray…

One of the most reliable, reciprocating, aircraft engines ever built.
I flew in the Balair Coronado.
