Yeovilton Air Day1986 26-07-86

Post by RAF4EVER » Fri Nov 24, 2023 3:09 pm

I have a query for the above date.
NW21711 DC 3, was this a misread?, because according to Aerial Visuals it went to to Indonesia in 1972.

There is no Scramble show report for this show.

Any help would be appreciated.

I was there and my record shows G-AMPY which was marked "NW21711" in Northwest Orient colours. This is just one link: https://www.key.aero/article/air-atlant ... operations
NC21711 went to Indonesia in 1968 and in fact was W/O in 1972.

Hope this helps.

No trouble - glad to help where possible. I hadn't noted the markings myself so thanks to you too for highlighting it.
