Re: Vickers Viscount
Many thanks, Newforest.
Then there was a flight from Frankfurt to Berlin Tempelhof in Nov 65 in G-AORD. Visited Modern Air and PanAm.
A month later we had to go and meet with Interflug, possibly East German Lufthansa in those days. G-AOHI got us overhead Berlin but we had to return to FRA due to wx. Next day G-AOHW tried but again got diverted, this time to Hannover. After some three hours 'HL was put on the job and was successful, but all our dates were shot and had to be re-arranged. And you didn't get a connection to East Berlin very easily in those days. I remember we spent the evening in the cinema at Berlin Zoo watching 'Those Magnificent Men...'. Gert Froebe didn't need dubbing of course, and his umpah umpah umpah caused much mirth.
The return flight to FRA was in 'HM.
Long live the Viscount!
cheers
