Remark

Photographer

5B-DBY (cn 29099/2982) Last May 28th during my stopover at London Heathrow this aircraft caught my eye. Sadly, 2.5 months later, on August 14th, Helios Flight 522 with 115 passengers and six crew enroute from Larnaca, Cyprus, to Athens, crashed about 12 noon Sunday (0900 GMT), near the coastal town of Grammatikos, about 40 km (25 miles) north of Athens and near the historic town of Marathon, killing all 121 people on board. My sympathy to the passengers, crew and their families.
