Boeing revived the 727 and 737 programs in the early seventies with ADV variants (more power, more payload/range) according to an ‘Air and Space’ mag article at the end of the seventies Unducted Fans were thought to be the next ‘thing’ and the CFM56 re-engined 737 (now the ‘737 classic’) was only expected to sell a few hundred until Unducted Fan types took over 🙂

VeeOne’s thread on the 737-100 and -200 ‘Initial Model’ was fun

So slow to sell, at one point Boeing considered abandoning the type:eek:

I think Lufthansa were the first in Europe with their short-body -100s, but Britannia were first in the UK (long before BEA/ BA were allowed to buy 737s)

[QUOTE=nigelrob;1870709Thats interesting. Am I right in saying that Britannia were the first airline in Europe to be equipped with 737’s?]

This is probably 1969,could even be the delivery year 1968 for ‘VRL as it has the original build short length engine nacelles Boeing had to lengthen at their cost

Lee….It was from the perimeter road by the chicane or S-bend at the eastern end of LAP North tarmac….as you say prohibited but much used by spotters! A Brownie 127 photograph!

Longshot, that pic of the TWA 1049G must have been taken from a prohibited area! I was turfed out many times by the airport police for venturing 10 feet past the sign to the same spot.

Ah yes , I can see the second one is a Heinkel, now.

Are there any images on the net of the Dornier which came down at seasalter on 13Aug 1940?
