Picture taken behind the Iron Curtain, surely an experience I'll never forget.

photographer Alberto Storti

With Air Charter International logo on the tail. Delivered to Air France as F-BHRK in 1960. Withdrawn from use at Paris-Orly and scrapped in 1980.

Undated negative from FNG archive. Delivered 1960, withdrawn Orly 1980 and scrapped. Rolls Royce Avon powered Caravelle IIIs did not have thrust reverse but in early times a brake chute for emergencies. Poor braking action at the destination could result in an early decision for diversion. Never a regular, two Caravelles had been diverted to Nuremberg in this view. By the late 1960's engines became polished metal instead of white and the polished belly was painted light grey dating this image to the mid to late 1960's.

Photographer unknown. Seen at Orly during a period on loan from parent company Air France. This Caravelle returned to Air France for a short period before being retired and then broken up at Orly by late 1980.

Delivered new 18th March 1960 and withdrawn from use at LFPO Apr 1980, then scrapped Dec 1980
