Hello all. I just joined this site, and am looking for identification of an old passenger plane
that my Grandfather flew on. I don’t know the maker, or where the plane was produced,
but the back of the photo say’s, “Amsterdam”. My Grandfather was from Greece, and this
could have taken him on one leg of his journey to America. Any information on this plane,
or it’s origin, would be appreciated. More of an old motorcycle guy myself, but anything
old,(IMO), has so much more character to me. Thanks for reading. Picture below..
Take Care,.

That would appear to be a Handley Page W.8b. Only the four W.8bs operated by SABENA had the fuel tanks under the top wing, so it is one of O-BAHJ, K, L or M.

Welcome to the forum.
The photo looks like a Handley Page aeroplane, either a W.10 or W.8F?
Cheers,
