History of the DC6
(As accurate as the locals' memories can provide)

In 1959/60 this DC6 was flying from Brussels to the Cameroon and made the wrong call sign. It was told to land at Palma Airport, it was found to have cigarettes and whiskey on board and therefore this was confiscated.

Over the next 10 years, the engines and anything of value were removed and what was left on the point of being scrapped (1970), when some bright spark wondered if there was anybody daft enough to buy it.

Sure, there was ! The farmer who owned the site where TALBERTS BOWLS and RESTAURANT BERTORELLI stand today, decided to move it here and make it a "Night Club" but it never took off! It lasted for about 5 years.

As Magalluf and the surrounding towns grew bigger, the night club lost it's business.

*****************

Today, the plane is closed, as it is dangerous inside-rotten floorboards etc.
