[ZigZagZog]

Dear all

Looking for some info on the pre SIA operation in Singapore by name of Sabre Air. Operated DC8-60 series (to UK?) in the early 70's pre SIA incarnation?

Especially interested in any photo's
None available on airliners.net

Appreciate the support

Your post caused a couple of corroded synapses to reactivate after 30 odd years.
i) Sabre Air appeared when SIA were already operating (having split from Malaysia-Singapoe Airways in 1971). Sabre Air was a completely independent business

2) From meomry this was purely a Charter Operation and the fleet was a single DC8 was a 63 Series. Gatwick was the London Terminus

3) The period of operation was very short (at least to Gawick), I suspect less than 3 Months.

4) A geek moment - The Balance Chart was completed by reference to printed indices tables for Passenger Cabin and holds based on load in compartments.

I do remember looking down the entire length of the Passenger Cabin and thinking this is a stretch too far!

Sorry no picture, but hope this helps
