G-VMIA (cn 20108/87) "Spirit Of Sir Freddie" pushes back as VS11 for BOS a flight I made on the old bird a couple of times. I must say it was rather low-tech on the IFE and interior fittings by that time. DD 27.11.70 to AA as N9669. LT National 07.84-09.85. ST Citicorp as N14939 08.86. To Highland Exp as G-HIHO 03.87-01.88. LT QF VH-EEI and SL Air Pacific 04.88. RT QF EI-CAI 11.89. To VS 22.03.90 and parted out Kemble 01.00. TT 84293, 18387 L. |

G-HIHO (cn 20108/87) During a visit to Brussels Airport we have seen this B747 parked at the maintenance area of Sabena and managed to get a good picture of it. Must have been parked here when operations stopped. Her name is Highlander. What an excellent light for photography. |
