Hi Guys and Gals.

Can anyone help with an article published in the March 1994 issue of FSM which covered the Boeing 747SP?

I will gladly cover any costs incurred.

Thanks in advance.

Chris.

Hi Stringbag, I have this mag issue. Would you like me to scan/forward on, its 7 pages long. PM me MODeller

Gotta ask though Chris... a Boeing 747 is old, but it's not classic, surely? :hmmm:

You could be right Mike, I always tend to regard the first generation of wide bodies as classic aircraft now.

Bearing in mind the early 737s (series 200/300 and 400) are referred to as classic now, and the latter is an earlier design than the 747.

I would certainly agree that the 747-400 would be out of place in the 'Classic' section.

Feel free to move if you think it should be elsewhere.

Cheers.

Chris.

Well Boss, the last 747 - SP was delivered in 1989 and is no longer in production, so in my 747 :nerd: opinion Id say its a classic.

I've seen one definition of classic as being made between 1925 and 1948. That's the meaning I understand, although in the UK there's no dictionary definition, cars made before 1973 are deemed of "historic" value, which I guess makes them a classic.

Ok then, hands up, those who believe the 747SP is a classic?

That be me then :yahoo:

Mike :sorry: I didnt realise things were worked out like that, I made the my assumption based on some are in Museums, no longer in production etc It seems like a subject where one could sit for hours playing Panto with it......... "Oh no it isnt" "Oh yes it is" :rofl:

Well, thanks to MODeller, I have a fairly comprehensive set of references for the 747SP.

Many thanks Brian.

I've decided to do 'Clipper Constitution' in the Pan-Am pre billboard scheme.

I might even do a 707 in the same scheme just to keep it company, but I will have to cast a replacement nose for the Minicraft kit.

HMMMMMM. Might have to give Mike a call.

Thanks again Brian.

Chris.
