Robert, great pics If that SAS DC8-63 is SE-DBK then that was the very same aircraft that I had to load plan and do the loadsheet for to pass my SAS/Scanair load control examination at Stansted in the early 80s. You had to do your exam whilst the aircraft was on turnround……no pressure:confused: We used to see these 8s flying under Scanair flight Nos but carrying this SAS livery, although some were re-liveried in the similar “candy stripe” livery used by SAS in the mid to late 80s….different to mainline SAS in that it was mainly yellow markings with Scanair titles and a large yellow disk on the fin. TU134A LZ-TUK was occasionally seen thru STN on a Sunday, but I think I’m right in that it was usually a Govt aircraft…Happy days!:D
