Boeing 707-330B

Condor
Newly leased to Condor in April 1978, D-ABUF is lining up for take-off on Riem’s runway 07. This airframe would frequently return to Riem in the late 1980s as N88ZL with Lowa Ltd.
Note: D-ABUF (2) was Boeing 767-330 (ER) c/n 26985/537 flying with Condor between April 1994 and December 2023 (with Thomas Cook from July 2002 to May 2004).

Had APU installed in rear of forward hold and Comtran/Tracor Stage II hushkits fitted to ensure operation beyond 1986. It would fly on until 2010.
