Air Atlantique decided to cease cargo operations at the end of 2004. After initial uncertainty about her future a headlining air show appearance and a brief cameo in the Bond film Casino Royale signalled a new career for the famous classic airliner.
In 2007 she played a starring role in the film Bride Flight about a DC-6 that won the 1953 air race from London to New Zealand, for which she wore a stunning period airline colour scheme.
A European tour at the end of her 2008 season included a return visit to Innsbruck in the British Eagle colours she wore there in the 1960s.
The unforgettable trip culminated in a three day residence at Berlin Tempelhof airport for celebrations to mark its final closure. In an emotional farewell, G-APSA was the last international departure ever from this historic air terminal.
Now, as she embarks on her second half century, the Cloudmaster is ready to make history again...
