Swissair did not operate to Australia so the sight of one of its aircraft at Sydney was a treat. HB-IDE was destroyed in a landing accident at Athens on October 7, 1979. It overran the runway and caught fire. 14 passengers died. This photo is copyright © David Carter, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
