Air France
I don't have an exact date for this photo, but F-BASO was noted at Riem on 18 February 1968 when it brought spares for Air France Caravelle F-BHRY, which had slipped off the runway the day before. This shot may well have been taken in February, there seem to be heaps of snow by the edge of the ramp. A Braathens SAFE DC-6 is seen on the left, and a Pan Am B707 in the distance is partly obscured by the Provence.
F-BASO was also noted at Riem on 9 May 1968 - the last report I have for the type at the airport. Sister ship F-BASU was seen at Riem on 1 February 1968, and F-BASX on 28 March 1968. (Source: Riem movements in Aviation Letter)
