The Coronado carried it’s own little black cloud with it everywhere it went, too.

Looking back through my records I see that they also had EC-DSF, a DC10-30CF.
Sorry, Ren. I must have edited my posting as you were composing yours.

Spantax had both types, Ren. The DC-8s came along later, though.
Had a feeling they had both, I’d be talking circa 1981-1983 or thereabouts.

The CV990 was the fastest airliner in the world until the Tu144 first flew.
Not a lot of people know that. 😉

Excellent I remember those noisy Aviaco DC-8’s also the Spantax flights, were they DC-8’s too or Coronados? Can’t recall I was about ten at the time?
Spantax operated both to GLA.
Speaking of DC-8’s there’s one due at PIK on Sunday I’m told.
Nice sight. 🙂

I’d consider getting those framed taking them to BAA and asking them to make you an offer for them. (lol) 😀
