SU-DAB A tight fit, the tail is still sticking out of the hangar as the ground crew is closely watching the process of being towed into the hangar. Later on in its career this aircraft was destroyed after overrunning the RWY after aborting take-off at Bratislava on February 7th, 1999. (mehr von SU-DAB)

9Q-CRT Please look closely, you will notice the faded Lufthansa colours, as this wonderful series -430 was D-ABOB 'Hamburg' till January 1977. Imagine those Rolls Royce Convays screaming at me!
