Phoenix Airways also operated a BAC 1-11, HBITL I believe.
Phoenix ceased ops on 17/3/74. Both aircraft were to crash with subsequent operators - HB-IEG with LAB (Bolivia) as N730JP, crashed after take off from Santa Cruz on 13/10/76 and HB-ITL with Austral as LV-LOX crashed into the River Plate on approach to Buenos Aires 7/5/81. Phoenix also leased an ex TWA 707-131 N732TW summer 1972. My only photo of HB-ITL was with a Kodak Instamatic is too poor to publish but try airliners.net:- Aviation Photo Search | Airliners.net |

A interesting shot of the Phoenix 707 at LTN:
Never saw HB-IEG. One time I was waiting for it to arrive it turned into a TEA 720 OO-TEA (19/4/73). |
the other phoenix 707 leased from TWA N732TW

Looks like the late 70's...The Eurafric Brit (EI-BCI) is very distinctive as seen here:

Can't quite see enough to recognise any cars in the ATC car park!

Being even more specific, the line up fits my anorak log on 9th April '77 when Geminair were occupying the gap on stand 12 with 9G-ACE. A.F.R.E.K. G-BDUP departed on 11th April at 1338, with the other aircraft present in the same places apart from 9G-ACE. The Lear Jet may be N5000B of the Ashland Oil Co. which was present on 11th on the light aircraft stand. If the photo was taken that day around lunchtime, the Bavaria Germanair A300 D-AMAY would have been out of the shot on stand 17. Open to correction as usual, of course! |
I hate to think how many telephone directory sized volumes of notes you must have:eek:
No petrol station in those days either. |

Presumably the photo has been taken from a light aircraft flying roughly along the line of the then runway 18/36 ?
|
Apart from H89 & H7&8 clipped at the sides of the pic, none of the other hangars survive.....
|
Has hangar 9 gone? It's the one with the Brit in front of it, right.

Ah...didn't count that one as it hasn't been a proper aircraft hangar for years! :}

This was one of the replacement hangars for Monarch and maybe the first aircraft in.
