Good to see them looking after this aircraft. I would like to think they would use masks when stripping the paint like that though for safety reasons.

Preserving a Spantax Coronado

I hope Tillerman won’t mind me stealing his idea, but as the Coronado thread has been closed in Commercial i thought i would add these links to this thread instead. They make interesting viewing;

Thanks for that, longshot, much better that the poorly-exposed slide I’ve got somewhere.

Ah, CV990’s! I well remember these fine old girls flying in and out of MAN in the 70’s & 80’s trailing thick, black gouts of smoke from their CJ 805’s….

And that unique NOISE!!

Happy days indeed!

Regards,
Frank

The two words Spantax Coronado make me feel quite nostalgic! I’m sure I’ve got a picture of one somewhere – I know for certain I’ve one of an Air France Coronado, a real rarity leased from someone or other.
