    Great photos, I love 134’s. Great thing about AMS is they seem to park great aircraft of that stand right by the deck(IRA A300,Baltic 146 etc last week!).
    134’s are used very occasionally into LHR too on the Saturday StPetersberg flight. I well remember 15-20 years ago when LOT,CSA 134’s were regullar along with the occasional Balkan and Aeroflot.

    Saw a BA 767 at AMS last week, and KLM used to operate 767’s on the LHR-AMS route as well, and operated 747’s regually on the Friday night flights in the 80’s. Plus LHR gets Turkish and Olympic A340’s regually. It makes sense to operate one wide body flight insted of 3 737’s/A320’s.

    Nice photos but am I the only who who really hate the use of poles at
    Sinsheim?? The odd gate guard is ok but the Tu144 etc all look awfull up in the air, whats wrong with having them on the ground?

    Indeed there is a Sandringham F-OBIP that has been in store at the Musee
    de I’Air at Le Bourget since 1984. It was damaged in a gale and blown into a hangar I think. Sadly it has not seen the light of day for 20 years and went into store just months before I made my first visit to LBG 😡 , so it is much on my wanted list. Although I think its under slow restoration.

    Some nice photos there, despite the ‘british’ weather. I note the Percival Provest in the backgroud, and chance of a snap? Didn’t know there were anty flying out west?

    What kind of jet is HB-IUT?

    Its a IAI Galaxy now called the Gulfstream 200 when Gulfstream took over the IAI business. Not many in Europe, around 120 built so far.

    Nice to see the G46 flying again. Its based at Sandown in the hangar next to the tower. I have not seen it fly since Booker in the early 80’s.
