Pan Am Classic Tin Stratocruiser

These used to be on sale at airport departure lounge shops…this West German GAMA toy was later available with the Pan Am Globe scheme which did get onto the Stratocruisers

Good afternoon,

As the title of this topic doesn’t restrict the subject to UK airports, I have taken the liberty to post one of Schiphol airport. It was taken at August 27th, 1966 (OE-LHT in the foreground)

Kind regards,

Peter

That’s the old Schiphol East Terminal isn’t it?…Had KLM already moved into the present terminal before the other operators?

Early 737s

You’re right to raise your eyebrows :),I was wrong!….the Putnam’s Boeing book records Lufthansa as first to order the -100 and United Airlines first to order the -200, so I guess they were the launch customers…I think Britannia were the first European Charter Company to receive the -200, and as I remember it got them some months before Aer Lingus got theirs

Flight Global archive records the 737 was launched in February 1965 on the back of the Lufthansa order

and the United order for 40 737-200s followed on Apr5 1965

Early Britannia 737 scheme

Britannia was an early (corrected from launch :)) customer for the 737-200 note the stumpy little original engine pods which Boeing had to redesign

Wow. I had no idea so many early airliners did that!

By varying the search terms e.g. 5, 5-,five ,fifth….engines/engined/pod etc you can ferret them out…I just added this lot

I’ve got a grainy shot of a Lloyd Intl ex-PanAm 707-321 with 5 somewhere

Interesting that Qantas were doing 747 fifth engine ferries last winter….I think they were the first to do it with their 707 short-bodies 50-odd years ago

Dad’s Army was so much better than the later ‘Hallo, Hallo’ WWII comedy series. Perhaps worth noting there was a movie made of ‘Dad’s Army’, too, same cast as I remember, in the cinemas in 1971.

Particularly smashing photos, VeeOne!…How did you get the low angles with the grass blades in foreground?…you shouldn’t let anoraks like myself prevent you from saying what you feel about the subject 🙂
