Dear WHBM.
Did you find any information about Interflug IF580 SXF/ULN
Summer 1971, which the CIA reported not showing in the
ABC or AOG world guides ? Was it showing in their DDR
Timetable ? I found the CIA Library reports on Interflug
DDR Aviation, and SXF very accurate apart from the report
on the crash of Baade 152 DM-ZYA on 4th March 1959
at 13.55hrs 5 miles from Dresden. There were around 20
a/c in production ordered by Deutsche Lufthansa Ost, which
became Interflug when the production was cancelled, and
IF having no option but buy the TU134. The Aviation Safety
Network page reports problem with fuel flow. This appears
to me, to have been a problem that could have been
rectified after the loss of DM-DYA, and drastic action to
stop the production of this beautiful aircraft.
Re. The Lot IL18 SXF/LHR. Do you have the routing of this
flight and the times of Dep from SXF and arr. in LHR ?
