K25 slide scan. Delivered 1982, flown to Tozeur, Tunisia 1991 for safekeeping. ATC had advised Traffic Department of the unannounced impending arrival of a 747 on a training sortie. It turned out to be nothing less than Saddam Hussein's SP on a technical check flight after heavy maintenance with Lufthansa Technik at Hamburg.
