Good evening,
This time I have a few scans of bizjet slides. They were all taken at Le Bourget, on July 21st, 1982.
1. HB-VGV, Learjet 55
2. HZ-AO1, Falcon 20
3. J2-KAC, Falcon 20, Republic of Djibouti
4. G-BFPI, Bae125. I wonder why it has so few windows. I have seen a photo, taken in 1979,
when it had more windows. Cargo conversion?
Kind regards,
Peter
Early Gulfstream 1 i think….
Good evening,
Trident Man, C-FFNM is (was) a Gulfstream 2, construction number 52, so it is definitely one of the earlier “jet” Gulfstreams. According to the Air-Britain bizjet book, it was parted out during October 2005.
The Gulfstream 1 was the turbo-prop version.
Kind regards,
Peter
At this rate, with all this Russian ‘eye candy’ I’m going to need sedation!;)
I’m still recovering from Gulfstream overload courtesy of Keith and others. I’m not complaining though:D As a kid I can remember seeing a Tu104 at LGW in the ‘modern white top-large cyrillic’ scheme.
Good evening,
Here is such a Tu104 with cyrillic scheme. Taken at Schiphol on September 25th, 1968. I hope you like this one Interflug62M.
Kind regards,
Peter
Good afternoon,
Here are 2 slide scans of helicopters, taken at Battersea heliport on July 15th, 1981.
1. Bell 206B G-BBFB
2. Agusta A109A G-HELY
Kind regards,
Peter
Good evening,
Here is another slide scan. This time it is LN-FOR, a Curtiss C-46R of Fred Olsen. It was seen at Rotterdam on May 3rd, 1970.
Kind regards,
Peter
Good afternoon,

1. N720X, Gulfstream 1 at Luton on July 21st, 1983
2. VR-BGT, Gulfstream 2 also at Luton on July 21st, 1983
3. N717A, Gulfstream 3 at le Bourget on July 21st, 1982

Good evening,
A couple of Douglas aircraft this time.
1. DC-6B OY-STR of Sterling, seen at Albenga (Italy) on July 28th, 1968
2. DC-7 OY-AND of Internord, seen at Genoa in July 23rd, 1968

3. DC-4 9Q-CBG of Air Congo, seen at Brussels on September 7th, 1969
4. Globemaster I 892, seen at Turin on July 29th, 1968.
This Douglas C-74 Globemaster I is one of only 14 built shortly after the Second World War. It started life in the USAF as 42-65409 and left the Air Force in 1956. It went to Air Systems of Panama, registered HP-379. In the early sixties it flew cattle from Europe to the Middle East. Air Systems stopped flying after a crash of one of their other C-74s and HP-379 was abandoned in Milan and was later flown to Turin. I saw it there on 29th July, 1968. By that time it had been painted in CAAC colours to perform a role in the movie The Italian Job, which was released in 1969. It stayed at Turin airport on public display until it caught fire twice during 1970.
Kind regards,
Peter
Good evening,
A lovely trio!
I agree. I would like to add one slide scan, this time of a less familiar Russian aircraft. It is Tupolev Tu-124 OK-UEC of CSA, seen at a wet Schiphol on February 21st, 1970. Not the best quality, but I hope of interest all the same.
Kind regards,
Peter
Good evening,
No Russian aircraft this time, but negative scans of two British (related) aircraft. Both were taken at Aberdeen on July 11th, 1979.
1. G-AYYG: HS748 of Dan-Air in Mount Cook colour scheme.
2. VP-FAQ: DHC-6 of British Antarctic Survey on summer lease to Loganair.
Kind regards,
Peter
