On September 14, 1983, the World Championship speedway was held in Norden, Germany. The British participants were considered the biggest contenders for the title. Their supporters were flown in to Eelde and then transported to Norden. For this, BAF Herald G-BAVX and Viscounts G-AVJB and G-AOHV (all pictured here) visited Eelde. Dan Air HS-748 G-BHJC and Air UK Fokker 27 G-BCDN plus a number of smaller aircraft reportedly flew in as well. Built in 1967, G-BAVX was still sporting the basic livery of Aero Turbo Panama.
