Rhineair

 

HB-ABD is taxiing to Riem’s runway 25 for take-off. Precisely nine years earlier, on 12 August 1972, this airframe had been noted at the airport as F-BLHS with Rousseau Aviation.

 

This 1964 built Nord 262B flew with Air Inter from 1964, then Rousseau Aviation, TAT Touraine Air Transport as F-BLHS, Rhineair as HB-ABD, CAL Compagnie Aerienne du Languedoc and Air Littoral as F-GBEI and Trans Service Airlift as 9Q-CCR. (Source: rzjets.net).

 

Rhineair (the former Air Sea Service) operated scheduled services between Basle and Munich using N262s, but ceased operations in August 1981 (source: airlines-airliners.de). This must have been one of the last flights. The last report I have of HB-ABD at Riem is from 21 August 1981.
