München-Riem

HB-IEO

Canadair CL-44D4-1

Transvalair

 

HB-IEO taxiing to runway 25 for departure. This Transvalair CL-44 visited Munich-Riem a number of times in 1978 (I have reports for 16 March, 30 April, 4 May, 9 July, 23 October). The aircraft was again seen here on 12 June 1980 as 5A-DGE with United African Airlines still wearing the Transvalair cheatline. Survived derelict at Tripoli until the mid 2000s as one of the last CL-44 airframes but then disappeared.
