The Lockheed Electra was a 1950's vintage four engine turbo prop airliner. Due to a design flaw leading to a number of crashes only 170 of these aircraft were ever built. However the basic airfame was excellent and it was used as the basis for the Orion maritime patrol aircraft, this type had a long and illustrious career with over 750 examples being built in the USA and Japan.
