Photo Comment

"Geneve" is replacing the usual CV240 on the Zurich service because of heavy passenger bookings. It served SR from July 1951 until sale to Sterling as OY-EAN in June 1962. Passengers from another arriving flight walk unaccompanied across the apron - such was the easygoing situation in those days!
