Zulu Foxtrot formation of 707 NAS over Somerset, in the Langport area I think. This was the final formation flying sortie of the course. I was with the Senior Pilot in XT471/ZF and the other Wessex was XS522/ZL.

A launch customer for the Boeing 737, Lufthansa's initial order saw six 737-200s at the end of deliveries of twenty-two 737-100s arrive in 1969 - 71. The next deliveries of 737s (forty, all 200 series) were delivered 1981 - 85. City Jet Bamberg was delivered January 16, 1981 and would fly for Croatia Airlines and Air Slovakia 1992 - 2000. It then moved to South Africa as ZS-SIP for South African Airways, Comair, Kulula Air, and Interlink Airlines. The aircraft was stored at Wonderboom Airport, Pretoria, South Africa in 2009 and finally broken up there in 2014.

Delivered to the USAAF as 42-24238 then transferred to the RAF as FL517 in 1943. To Westmister Airways as G-AJAZ in 1947 then to Iberia as EC-ADR in 1948 and the Spanish Air Force as T.3-61 in 1965. To Air Classik as N8041B in 1979 and preserved at Dusseldorf airport. Moved to Marl when the collection closed in 1985 then to Seifertshofen in 1993 and marked as N-569R. Sold to a film company in Munich in 2004. Fate unknown.

Withdrawn from use in 1996. Tony Arbon photo.
