Lifting off Runway 10R at Heathrow, winter of 1973/1974...note the 707 still in BOAC paintjob

A very early and very new TWA747, in the first year of operation, climbing from Heathrow's 10R in front of the 1955 vintage Tower

TWA's use of the Jet Packet 'Ontos' continued into the 1970s when it was found that the 747's JT-9D engines could be transported with minor disassembly. Seen here taxying up runway 05 from the Heathrow Cargo area. Now preserved at the Hagerstown aviation Museum, Maryland

Delivered to TWA 06.74. Stored at Kingman AZ from 12.97.

Arriving at a snowy O'Hare, this early production TriStar served TWA from July 1973 until it was withdrawn and stored at Kingman AZ in 1997.

Taxying onto stand after yet another trans-Atlantic crossing.

Ex KLM Connie, beautifully preserved at the Wroughton Science Museum facility. Delivered to KLM in 1947, as PH-TET "Tilburg", later PH-LDT, and withdrawn from use Sep 1960. It was converted to freighter in 1962, then briefly carried TI-1045P in 1964 before becoming N7777G that same year. As such it saw service with many operators until impounded at Dublin in 1974, where it would remain for many years. Sold to Aces High in 1982 and registered as G-CONI, but reg never applied. The Science Museum acquired the aircraft and transported it from Dublin to Wroughton in July 1983. Restoration completed in Sep 1984 in TWA colours, even though it never flew for TWA.
