[SIZE=-1]Slightly off-topic, but Forster (in 1909) frighteningly described social media, internet forums and a particularly unpleasant end in[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] The Machine Stops:

[SIZE=-1]"The clumsy system of public gatherings had been long since abandoned; neither Vashti nor her audience stirred from their rooms. Seated in her armchair she spoke, while they in their armchairs heard her, fairly well, and saw her, fairly well. She opened with a humorous account of music in the pre Mongolian epoch, and went on to describe the great outburst of song that followed the Chinese conquest. Remote and primæval as were the methods of I-San-So and the Brisbane school, she yet felt (she said) that study of them might repay the musicians of today: they had freshness; they had, above all, ideas. Her lecture, which lasted ten minutes, was well received, and at its conclusion she and many of her audience listened to a lecture on the sea; there were ideas to be got from the sea; the speaker had donned a respirator and visited it lately. Then she fed, talked to many friends, had a bath, talked again, and summoned her bed."[/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]Now, should we book A Passage to India?

Eight years too late for that.
Candy bomber I like, obviously, but it's not 1956 is it?
Been there recently. The C-54 sits there without control surfaces and looks pretty sad in general.
The VFW-614 doesn't look any better and the Nord 262...well, it's been derelict for ages.
I'd rate Tempelhof my personal saddest place on earth.
Sure, my foot on the very same concrete that has seen planes of all sizes and ages has something great, but I just miss the action at "Berlin City"...
Depends on what's underneath the glasses...

1956
Que Sera Sera
"will I be pretty?"
it really shouldn't be that difficult to get to the South Pole but it took a long time... until October 31, 1956 to be precise

Bravo, well done!!
(I admire the way you backtracked from the Jimmy Stewart lead. Seems you really were exploring all avenues.)
A big thank you to all contributors. It must be said that Bjoern actually got a grip on the aviation angle, he just did not follow up what he had found.
Overall, what a neat demonstration of neuronal activity.
Que Sera Sera sung by Doris Day in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1956 The Man Who Knew Too Much had been an instant hit and was to become her signature tune. Also in 1956, the US Navy managed the first landing at the South Pole as part of Operation Deep Freeze II, battling chilly -45F degrees. Five aircraft were involved – a C-124 Globemaster (circling overhead), a C-54 Skymaster (returning to base with engine trouble), and three R4D/C-47 Skytrains fitted with radar noses, skis, and JATO bottles. The one that actually landed was BuAer 12418 Que Sera Sera.
Here is the WIP screenie, with various texture adjustments and ski animation yet to be done.

Now that I see an actual pic of the project, it would have been an easy follow-up indeed...
Well, but it was fun.
