Nice selection. Some good schemes among the non Russian types too and great to see some Tu134s flying.
I see someone mentioned Tu135. Hmmm. Tu135 was a supersonic bomber project of the late 50s. Like some sort of Gerry Anderson concoction but it was never built.
Very nice selection and it looks like a good spot for shots with the sun in the right place. Good to see the Greek C130s still have some colour on them. So many air forces now are grey with two tone grey national insignia. Nice Israir and I see the El Al has a ku-band antenna housing on top so you can use your phone via satellite comms.
A wee change. In the old days of the DDR you would have been hung drawn and quartered for taking shots at Dresden as it was the base of the LSK AN26s . They subsequently went to the normal German AF when the dyke was ditched and things became happier.
Is that GIANT fence new or has it been there a long time already ?
Some nice ones Scotty. I don’t like that Hop colour scheme. They could have done a lot better. It must have been commissioned by the bloke who selected the current JAT scheme.
Le Touquet is a place you never hear much about. I flew from Glasgow to there in 1987 or there abouts but not in a spam can.
Interflug flights to the “non aligned” countries in Europe were usually charters of one sort of the other. They could be bringing in a cultural orchestra or more often transporting folk to and from the fish processing ships off our shores. Interflug were quite common at Glasgow on fishing flights.
Interflugs at night
Here are three night shots of Interflug types for your enjoyment. Schönefeld, DDR in 1988. Scanned directly from the prints for now.



Teddy,
The pink Court Line tristar was G-BAAB.
Nice selection with good backgrounds. Looking at that Dreamliner scheme again on the Jetair. I just think they could have extended the dark blue in a curving pattern onto the tail. As the scheme stands the old untouched tail is out of place having that straight border. Have a word with that TUI mob.
Some great pics. I’ve never liked the Niki livery, I think its the housefly motif that’s always put me off it.
Yeah the housefly logo is a strange one. Anybody know the significance of it ?
The tail is a KitKat logo 🙂
I was put off posting much in the way of pics to here due to the fact that you had to use an image repository like photobucket and the fact that photobucket were pretty naff with their restrictions and the way they handled images (compressing with bad quality). Well I just had a look on photobucket just now and I see it has changed and the pics you upload remain as you uploaded them. So no more resizing automatically with /quality=duff
So…. watch this space. I see there are some Interflug fans out there so I’ll get some SXF goodies looked out too.
Glasgow 1989. During July Loganair used this BAC1-11 and Starair F27 while awaiting delivery of their ATPs.


And here’s the BA hangar in 1989 with ATPs, HS748 and BAC1-11
That Baade 152 is like some sort of Gerry Anderson concoction.
Hmmm. I never did see any of the 747s in that very old scheme. The Finnair DC9 though… still in the same scheme I flew in it and many of its sisters to various places in Finland in 1982.
The Fokker factory was always an added bonus at Schiphol. If you were lucky you’d get something fully ready with proper reg (instead of the repeated PH- ones) and of course there were also the F16s.
