Martinair a/c

And I thought I was an anorak. :diablo:

Tenthije,

You being Dutch? should know that KLM had PH-BUH converted from a 200 to a 200SUD then converted it to a 300SF. This being a model never offered by Boeing.

Not only am I dutch, I’m right too! :diablo:

The plane still is officially a ‘200SUD and not a ‘300. The SUD already states that the upper deck was lengthened. You’re right that the designations is SF and not F like I said. Therefore the official designation is B747-206B/SUD/SF and to make it complete I’ll through in the construction number as well: 21110/271. I’m not quite sure what the B stands for.

Anything else? :diablo: (I love that smilie :D)

These are not rare aircraft, dc10fan. What made you think that they were? :confused:

Grey area,

If you checked some facts then you would find that PH-MCE/F are actually very rare if you consider the variant; a 200C. How many airlines run passenger-configured 747s that have a nose-loading cargo door fitted? Boeing only ever built 13 of these a/c. That makes them rare in my books?

The 742F is not that rare indeed. The 742SUD/F is rare. The MD-11 is rare because martinair was the only one to buy the freighters (or was it combi’s?) straight from MDD. Hence the different designation of the plane type. Since then a lot of ’11s have had a conversion, but PH-MCS was there first.
