Civil Air Patrol De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver tied up at Lake Hood, Anchorage, Alaska on a quiet Saturday afternoon in July
Boeing 727-200 of Air Columbus of Portugal landing at Glasgow. Probably the finest colour scheme on any European aircraft at the time, subsequent 737s were much more subdued!
This great photo was taken by a friend of mine, Robert S.Ellis. Bob worked at Glasgow Airport and occasionally had the opportunity to take photos of aircraft nightstopping there. Over the years he became a bit of an expert at this, and among others, he took these magnificient shots of a DHC8 on delivery to Great China Airlines of Taiwan. He gave me an even better shot than this one (door open - airstair lights illuminated - interior lights on) but it is so good I put it in a very safe place. Unfortunately it is so safe I cant find it!
