Northwest DC3 at Gatwick

Post by LondonEye » Tue Jan 30, 2018 4:41 pm

Taken at Gatwick 26th June 1986.
G-AMPY of Air Atlantique painted as NW21711 Northwest AL.
It must have been to do with 60 years since NWA was founded.

I remeber 'PY' in those colours back then but pictures of it at Gatwick next to two Northwest B742s is great.

Thanks for posting

I well remember the DC3 at Speke Airport as it was then when operated by the local airline Starways (along with G-AMPO and G-AMSN if the grey matter still functions).
Nice set of pics, well done for posting.
