München-Riem

September 1979

 

D-AMAY

Airbus A300B4-103

020

Hapag-Lloyd

 

D-AMAY is taxiing to Riem’s runway 25 for take-off. Still in basic Bavaria Germanair colours without titles, lion‘s head logo on tail painted out but still faintly visible.

 

Bavaria and Germanair merged in January 1977. Their aircraft wore a hybrid colour scheme during this period, consisting of the basic Germanair livery with Bavaria Germanair titles and a stylized lion’s head logo (reflecting the Bavaria heritage) on the tail. In April 1979, Bavaria Germanair merged into Hapag-Lloyd.

 

The first Airbus A300 to visit Riem was Airbus Industrie’s prototype F-WUAB on 15 June 1973. Germanair’s D-AMAX, delivered on 23 May 1975, followed second on 2 June 1975 (first report of the aircraft at Riem).
