In 1951 the Pelican State was used as an aircraft transport. She carried a quantity of Republic F-84 fighters from New York to Glasgow. The aircraft were off loaded at King George V Dock and towed to Renfrew Airport. The aircraft were destined for Norway /denmark and the Netherlands. The aircrafy were not in cases but broken down into parts and partially reassembled on the dockside before moving to Renfrew Airport. Does anyone have any more information on her movements as an aircraft transport
