Aircraft Taken at More: KLM - Royal Dutch Airlines More: Boeing 747-206B More: Melbourne - Tullamarine (MEL / YMML) More: Australia - Victoria, October 1973 Remark Photographer PH-BUF (cn 20400/157) Amazing what can be found going through old negatives. Photo is not best quality but the aircraft is infamous. On 27 March 1977 this aircraft, as Flight 4805, collided with Pan Am 747-121 N736PA on the runway at Tenerife, Canary Island, with the loss of 583 lives. Still the worlds worst aviation disaster.

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 17, 2009: I like it because is a picture of the real plane that unfortunately crashed. This picture is historical and to be 32 years old is very clear. Someone out there did a great job taking it.
A visitor from Canada posted Fri August 7, 2009: Very nice historic shot! Much like the quick moment you shot this picture, it's very sad to think about how a small time frame of bad judgment could lead to such a huge sad moment in history. Wish this picture meant nothing to anyone other than an early 747 shot. :(
A visitor from Luxembourg posted Mon December 17, 2007: I think it is unique opportunity to see the real PH-BUF nowadays
A visitor from New Zealand posted Wed September 19, 2007: Well i reckon that this photo is absolutely amazing and the plane is very big!! and would be a great experience to be inside it..!

A visitor from Australia posted Thu November 17, 2005: Great shot George, black and white typifies the period and sad to think that so many innocent people were killed on this aircraft
