YR-ABC Boeing 707-3K1C cn 20805 ln 884 Tarom Heathrow 11Jul78 a

Taken from the Queens building viewing terrace.

This aircraft was delivered new to Tarom in 1974 so when I saw it it was only 4 years old !

In those days the Eastern European airlines were more likely to turn up with a Tupolev or Ilyushin but Tarom also had a fleet of 707's and 1-11's.

 

Delivered new to Tarom as YR-ABC on 03Jun74. To Amoko Airlines as 5N-KMA in Aug02. To First International Airways as 9G-IRL in Nov03. W/O at Entebbe 19Mar05 crashed into Lake Entebbe in rain on its second attempt to land which was to low. The crew of five survived.
