Good afternoon,
Thank you all for your nice comments. Yes, MSR777, there was an Interflug IL-18 present. The Rapid fans flew with this one, a Balkan Tu-154 and three Tarom TU-154s, as you can see on the photograph of the GAF Nomad.
According to Wikipedia, Greenair was founded in 1990 to fly Turkish expatriate workers and tourists from destinations in Germany and Paris, London, Milan and Amsterdam to Turkey. This airline was a join venture with Russian investors and thus used Soviet built aircraft. The first aircraft was the Tupolev Tu-154, followed by the Tupolev Tu-134, which it planned to use on scheduled services between Istanbul and Moscow; but those plans could not be carried out. In December 1994 Green Air ceased operations, but was reactivated in 1995 as Active Air. That venture also went out of business a year later.
Here are two more photos.
1. DDR-STO: Ilyushin IL-18D, Interflug
2. PH-HAG: GAF N24A Nomad, Holland Aero Lines with the three Tarom Tu-154s visible.
Kind regards,
Peter
Good evening,
A few more, this time some slide scans of aircraft with a British connection. The Rotterdam photos were taken on the day of the European Cup Final between Rapid Wien and Everton. Everton won 3-1.

2. G-BHNI: Cessna 404, Donington Aviation. Rotterdam, May 15th 1985. This aircraft looked very small in comparison to the Aer Lingus B747-130 EI-BED, which also brought Everton supporters to Rotterdam.
3. G-BNAA: Vickers Viscount 806, Euroair. Rotterdam, May 15th 1985
4. PH-MOL: Fokker F-28, Air UK. Schiphol, July 5th, 1985

I loved the good old days of hybrid and leased 737’s between all the charter carriers. Went on many BY 732’s in various guises including a half painted BY one.
Good evening,
Here are two hybrid Transavia aircraft.

The single Cymru Boeing 737-200 was ex Britannia G-BAZI I think that’s the ‘ZU above
The 737 with the blue tail top is almost certainly G-BHWE a Britannia machine leased to British Airtours
Good evening,
Thanks to the above mentioned information of Garry Russell I can confirm
G-BHWE was present the day (April 5th, 1985) the photo was taken. In my notes it says that it had British Airtours titles with Britannia colours.
I also include a photo (sorry for the quality) of G-BAZI of Cymru Airways International at Luton on April 1st, 1985.
Kind regards,
Peter

Another Potez 840 visited, I think only about 3 were built. Love the Viking photos, it was amazing how many Vikings were lying in the corner of airfields in the 1960/70s. Keep the photos coming.
Good evening,
In total 8 aircraft were built of the Potez 840/841/842 series. The first four were 840s powered by Turboméca Astazou turboprop engines. Then two (841s) were built with P&W Canada PT6A-6 turboprop engines and the last two (842s) were built with modified Astazou turboprop engines.
Musée de l’Air at Le Bourget has Potez 842 F-BNAN, c/n 3. I took this photo from a parking garage on April 1st, 1980. It is now displayed indoors.
There should be a second fuselage, probably somewhere in the Shetlands after a wheels-up landing.
Kind regards,
Peter

I used to run the Airline History Website almost 15 years ago.
Wardair 707 and 727 at Gatwick circa 1968-69. Amazing that they flew a 727 from Canada to Gatwick! BUIA Herald and C47 in background along with another DanAir Ambassador plane.Hallo Sarah…Talking about the Wardair (and other?) 727s flying pax across the Atlantic on OldJets Yahoo Group, it was mentioned by Bob Bogash that Sterling Airways did likewise with the heaviest gross weight 727-200ADVs that Boeing built. Although I haven’t been able to find any photos of Sterling 727s in North America, courtesy of EricFrikke/Leo Larsen the route flown (in the 80s) was Copenhagen-Keflavik-Bangor(Maine)-Miami and the 6 727s used had 7.5tonnes of extra fuel capacity in 3 belly tanks….do you have any pics at all of the Sterling 727s? By 1986 Sterling had DC-8-63s, this one at Las Palmas, I don’t know if they replaced the 727s to Miami
Good afternoon,
Two additions to this message.
1. Wardair also flew the Boeing 727 to Schiphol. I saw the CF-FUN on June 4th, 1966, but unfortunately I had no camera with me at the time.
2. My mother-in-law went on a holiday to Canada in 1983 and took some photos of aircraft for me at Toronto airport after she had boarded her KLM Boeing 747 for her flight home. Among those was this Boeing 727-2J4A of Sterling, OY-SBG. So here is photographic evidence of Sterling using 727s to North America. Not the best quality but I hope of interest all the same.
Kind regards,
Peter
