Taxiing in after its morning arrival. Built for TAP as CS-TJA.

This Jumbo flew a service to London from Lisbon normally served with 727s and 707s. The container company I worked for managed to fill it up with some brand new freight igloos on the lower deck, which was handy. A nice short run and rotation on 28l, Flight International 's caption mentioned that '41 Airlines were now flying the Atlantic'

5 engine PIA 747, spare fifth engine under port wing (with a moulded cover over the fan). Grainy blow-up from distant shot on finals for Heathrow 28R. When the 747 was introduced, complete engines could only be carried by specialist freight aircraft, so a convenient way of moving them round the world was to hang them as shown. As wide-bodied freighters became commonplace this method declined.

Note the British Asia aircraft in the background.

This is the former AP-AYW flown by PIA until 2005, surrounded by a sea of Northwest aircraft. Arrived via Prestwick in 09.05 and was originally TAP's CS-TJD in 2.75

Delivered to TAP on 7 June 1974. Leased to Pakistan International in April 1976 as AP-AYV and bought by them in April 1980.
