What Sabena could have been

Expensive for sure, but then again.. if your doing a fantasy livery that will never touch an aircraft, expense is negated

Jeanske, if you read my original post, you will see I said

“Just a fancyfull time wasting idea I had.”

this is a fantasy livery, and aircraft. Nothing more, nothing less.

Sabena Avro 146-300 :

Such thing doesn’t exist, it is either AVRO RJ 100 or 85 or BAe 146-200, the only stuff they operate (+3 A319’s).

Souldn’t you leave the comments to us Belgians and Belgian experts like me, comet and frankvw:DT that livery is not naturally sabena. sabena always wore blue, and the orange line is invented by SN Brussels Airlines. Sabena’s livery has always been and should be sober. This is too “fantasy”. There was no reason for Sabena to suddenly ad a orange line over it. It would be much better without the disturbing orange line.
The livery is very well designed however, but it would have been very strange to suddenly go to such a new design. Buy the way, the damn swiss wouldn’t allow sabena to do what they want!I have just finished reading a book about the bankruptcy. If someone is interested I will post my conclusion here.

On the starboard side, the word “FARTHER” went over the overwing exit door. When the door was open, the word spelled “FART”.

LMAO!! Well noticed! 😀

You’re very welcome. I’m impatient to see them 🙂

Basically, here some of Sabena’s planes (at least the most well known planes)

DC-10, MD-11, 742, 743, 732, 733, 734, A310, A319 20 and 21, A340, BAC 1-11, BAe 146-200 and 300 / RJ85 & 100, 727, Caravelle, Dash 8-300

In the last years, the 727, Caravelle, and 742 were out of service, the rest was still flying I think.

Some other planes were seen in Sabena Livery, but usually only leased.

thanx for that Frank… 🙂 🙂

May draw a few of those up.

I see.

There was is a similar problem with the livery for the first Airbis A340-600

EDIT: heres a pic

Look at the door just aft of the wing, imagine the door being open, it would read “FART”

There is a picture illustrating this somewhere, just can’t find it

No point. Hence the 😉 True though 🙂

One thing about the F50, when the doors are open it would say ‘bena’ 😉

your point being?

That is one fantastic livery! Looks great on all the a/c you’ve designed it on.

Thats the tricky thing about livery design. You have to design it no only to meet the clients needs, but so it fits on all your clients aircraft without looking silly

Love the new designs! And no, I don’t think Sabena operated the Fokker 50, though they did operate the Fokker 27.

An F50 example.

Dunno if Sabena ever operated these. I’d imagine so

If you look closely, you’ll see the golden yello cheatline tapers to nothing at the top of the fuselage. The thicker line at the rear end wraps round

Does the cheatline run along the whole length of the fuselage, just that we can’t see it, or does it stop then restart, above the registration.

Looking good! 🙂
