The second Cubana Britannia to visit Munich-Riem during the 1972 Olympic Games is taxiing to its stand. (The first one, CU-T671, was noted at Riem on 18 August 1972.)

 

On 12 September 1972, CU-T670 also visited Fürstenfeldbruck Air Base (FEL) used as a relief airport for Riem during the Olympic Games. Another Cubana Britannia, CU-T668, never came to Riem and was only seen at Fürstenfeldbruck, on 8 September 1972.

(The two Pan Am B707s visible in the background of the photo above were apparently too common to be logged.)
