Spitfire31 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Superb Caravelle! My very first take-off in a flying machine was in an SAS Caravelle, sometime in the past century… Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last flight in a Super Caravelle was with Finnair Helsinki-Madrid in 1978. Here are two, unfortunately dusty slides of the embarcation to the plane and a picture of the cockpit (in those days they still allowed interested people to come and see the pilot and the cockpit) Cheers Einar Edited July 18, 2021 by Einar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree,cheatlines around the nose of an airliner are a pain to achieve.You did a great job on this. I remember seeing the last flying Caravelle in Europe in 1991-1992 in Zurich.It was the Swiss charter airline Air City who operated the last one.They eventually had to phase her out because the Swiss authoroties did not renew the Caravelles air worthiness certificate. It was always a nice and somehow unusual sight,seeing her at the gate side by side with the then quite new A320s Thank you Alex, It was nice to hear your memories from Kloten. My last flight in a Super Caravelle was with Finnair in 1978. I flew from Helsinki to Madrid. Enclosed there are two dusty slides of that trip. Those days one could still have a peek in the cockpit 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Great photos! Is it just me, or do the JT8D engine intakes look somewhat ogival and elongated in the vertical? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Again, great photos. Do you happen to remember if there was a flight engineer on this aircraft, or did those go away after the Caravelle 6/6N/6R? I regret that I never flew on one, but United disposed of theirs quite early and they ended up with package delivery services in the U.S., or with a Netherlands firm--I can't remember the name off-hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intakes are really oval and elongated in comparison to the round ones of earlier Caravelle engines. Cheers, Einar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my memory serves me right there were only the pilot and the co-pilot on the cockpit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
