**Joemicroman** · 26th March 2011, 07:27

Hey All,

Great pictures so far. Does anyone have any pictures of the 757's and 767's when they first started coming to the UK ?

Many Thanks

Joe

I can well remember seeing a trio of Sir Freddie's new A300s, sitting idle at STN for some time, back in the 80s. A sad sight.

**EGTC** · 26th March 2011, 14:00

Nice DC10's there.

**civilspotter** · 26th March 2011, 21:09

2. PH-MBP, DC-10-30 of Martinair with Air Seychelles titles at Gatwick on April 5th, 1985.

Good evening,

I thought it was time now for some Russian hardware.

1. CU-T1259, Ilyushin IL-62M of Cubana seen while turning towards the take-off runway at Cologne-Bonn on August 5th, 1984

2. DDR-STO, Ilyushin IL-18D of Interflug at Rotterdam on May 15th, 1985.
It brought football fans for the European Cup Final between Everton and Rapid Wien.

Kind regards,

Peter

**MSR777** · 29th March 2011, 18:45

Very nice indeed Peter. I flew on an Interflug IL18 to Tirana in 1987, they were beautiful machines. The condition of the aircraft was immaculate, inside and out.

**Peter de Zeeuw** · 12th April 2011, 14:24

Good afternoon,

I thought it was about time to add a few to this thread. This time the focus is on Hapag-Lloyd.

1. D-AMAP, Airbus A300B4-203 at Düsseldorf on June 27th, 1980

2. D-AHLR, Boeing 737-89 at Düsseldorf on August 14th, 1981

3. D-AHLF, Boeing 737-2K5 at Düsseldorf on August 13th, 1982

Kind regards,

Peter

**Peter de Zeeuw** · 7th May 2011, 17:50

Good evening,

I thought it was time to add a few negative scans to this thread. I hope to see more of you out there as well.

1. Turkish Airlines Douglas DC-9-10 TC-JAA, also at Schiphol on June 21st, 1968

2. BEA Hawker Siddeley Trident 1 G-ARPU at Schiphol on April 5th, 1969. Light conditions were not favourable.

3. BEA BAC 1-11-500 G-AVMT, also at Schiphol on April 5th, 1969. Mind the double titling: BEA / Air France

I hope you like them.

Kind regards,

Peter

Yes they were all off centre!

Kind regards,

Fred Olson C-46's used to visit Heathrow on night freight flights, but were gone before it got light, so very few were caught on film. (When I was a lad...)

**MSR777** · 10th May 2011, 07:36

Very nice shots Peter. Nice to see that JAT Caravelle along with that Trident. I had forgotten that THY operated the 'baby' 9.

Hello Interflug62M,

Here is that same JAT Caravelle 6N (YU-AHG), sorry for the backlight.

Kind regards,

Peter

**MSR777** · 11th May 2011, 07:29

Hi Peter, Thanks for that pic. One of my favourite jets, in one of my favourite liveries. It may not be politically correct, but the Caravelle has the grace of a beautiful woman, and could only really have been created by the French.

Neil.

But the windows must have been created by the Swiss. Toblerone.

I started this thread with a really dodgy out of focus couple of old scans from some prints I found but was amazed at how the thread just grew.The wealth of peoples talent for this subject came bursting through and just want to say thanks for sharing some of your magic moments from sites from all over the place.

Also the knowledge of these aircraft some people have,and are ready to impart with just to help others all stored up in the old grey cells just ready to use at the click of a button."Amazing".Anyway as reality comes close to me and I hear my wife curse "god however much more B****y ironing left" its my "q" to say thankyou to everyone who posted and I hope will post a few more.

Good evening,

Here are "a few more". I hope you like them.

1. ATL-98 Carvair G-APNH at Rotterdam on April 15th, 1968

2. BAC 1-11 G-ATPL of British Eagle leased to KLM. Also at Rotterdam on April 15th, 1968

3. Convair CV-240 LN-KAP of Polaris, again at Rotterdam on the same day

4. Once more ATL-98 Carvair G-APNH, this time at Rotterdam on April 18th, 1970

Kind regards,

Peter

[QUOTE=Grey Area;1681499]I hate to come over all pedantic, Neil, but that 1-11 is in pre-merger Caledonian livery.

The airline only became British Caledonian (ie, Bcal) after the takeover of BUA in late 1970 and the titles on the aircraft were gradually changed from then onwards.

'Caledonian/BUA'?

**MSR777** · 19th May 2011, 07:54

Great Carvair pictures Peter. I once flew on one of those beasts from OST to SEN in '75, quite an experience. IMO, an aircraft often overlooked in the contribution that it made to the post war British airline history. It was in its time, a novel and practical idea from that great man Sir Freddie Laker.

**The"Eh"Team** · 19th May 2011, 19:01

Love em all and many thanks again to PDZ,..V1..and IF62M.

**MSR777** · 20th May 2011, 07:50

Vee one, please keep these shots coming! It must be my age, but this thread has brought back so many great memories. As has been said, thanks Eh for starting this one, and to all the other members who have contributed, its great

**VeeOne** · 20th May 2011, 14:07

Civilspotter. I recall that HS748 of CAA being used to calibrate Heathrow's ILS systems in the 1960s and 1970s. It used to fly around joining the ILS from differing angles and altitudes. It was obvious because it kept flying over my home. I think the CAA had another 748 too. Nice photos!

I think we are all having an overdose of nostalgia, IL62m.

Nothing wrong in that of course.
I believe the Sud Est predecessor to the Caravelle was the pre-war Languadoc (four piston engines and lancaster-like tail arrangement). That was used into London Airport after the war by Air France. That was an elegant shape (for the pre-war times) too. I wonder if the same design team worked on the SE-210?

And retracted to starboard to lie across the fuselage rather than fore and aft. The Mains also turned through 90 degrees too as on things like the Skyraider but still into the fuselage rather than the wing.

**waghorn41** · 29th May 2011, 19:11

Guess I'll add a few but some of the negs have suffered badly with age.
Air Nauru 737 - this aircraft caused Kai Tak's only runway to be closed on numerous occassions - burst tyres if I recall.
Sterling Caravelle, Philipines Aerotransport Hercules, Transvalair CL44, Transmeridian Air Cargo CL44, Tradewinds CL44, Air Nauru 727.
