'City of Luxembourg' is pictured taxying to the cargo ramp after landing on rw13 from LAX as CLX 775. This shot illustrates nicely the thicker wing of the -800 compared with the -400 series.

'City of Esch-sur-Alzette' departed the heaving metropolis that is LAX 9 h and 5 min previously. Pictured, 5140 miles later, touching down on PIK's rw31 in the midst of beautiful Ayrshire countryside.

Rolling on Twy V.

The "City of Luxembourg" flew for Cargolux from '79 to '87. Later regns include EI-BTQ, N809FT, N639FE and 9G-MKL.

An early morning arrival on 9R. To B-198 with China Airlines in June 1985 and destroyed 29th December 1991 at Taipei

My first shot of a Cargolux 747-8 and what great conditions. The vantage points provided by the airport in conjunction with the LHBP Spotters on both runways 31R (as in this shot) and 13R are superb

Touching down back at base on flight CLX671 which routed from LUX out to various points in the Far East and returned via STN

A trip in an Auster afforded this unusual view. First reg to Canadair 4.63 as CL-44D-8 CF-PBG-X, to Loftleidir TF-LLF and converted to the stretched CL-44J 1966. To Cargolux 4 months before this shot and then sold as N4993U in 1976, later becoming TL-AAL, 5A-CVB, 5A-DGJ, 9Q-CQS and lastly EI-BRP with Aer Turas 1.86. Bought by Heavylift 5.89, wfu SEN 11.90 and b/u 8.92

Good to catch an Italia in full colours, as a new simplified scheme seems to be taking over, as seen on LX-YCV. Since this shot, KCV has been repainted in full Centurion Cargo livery
