would have been a very happy lufthansa plane on the way home:eek:

hurray
worked over there 3 years ago and used to visit in evenings to do some spotting, the place in a nightmare to get a good viewing point without been in an illegal position or illegally parked!!!

brings back memories of the early 80s see the JAL DC8 frieghter at Ringway,
its smokey take offs were a great sight, especially good when taking off to the east, in those days the fence at the end of the runway past the pub was near a housing estate, all other planes would be well off the ground before reaching the hump in the runway, but the JAL one would still be on the ground, a few people would have panic in there eyes before it eventually lifted off

“The Sound Barrier”, and “Always” come to mind…

thats not a commercial aviation film

the airport films were in the 70s, ok airplane was a spoof of them

so why the same paint work
just coincidence?
