Always great to find an Air India 747-200 postcard. This time it's the -212, rather than the -237, in the short-lived livery.

Similar to an airline issued version, this one shows the aircraft at a slightly different angle. Should have some comparative pics soon.

Great find, 747-237: is this also VT-DJI on its photo-flight? Also, could you tell us a bit more about the Japanese' part? Cheers, Sumantra.

Also, could you tell us a bit more about the Japanese' part? Sumantra, good to have you comment on this thread (finally) ! This might just be DJI on its photo-flight as you mentioned. The reverse does not specify. As for the 'Japanese' part - Japanese aviation postcards are of a very distinct and irregular (larger than average as well as longer) size. This one is about 50 years old, but looks like new. Some of them (not this one) have 5 squares on the reverse for the "pin code" part of the address. I have fond memories of my Dad buying me a full set of Japanese aviation postcards at NRT in 1986, right before we flew NRT-BKK on the way back to BOM. _________________ 11000 posts (and counting) on Airliners-India.

Was the NRT service then on the 707, or the 742 (I don't think the 74Ds had started the NRT route then, but I am just guessing) Cheers, Sumantra.

More interesting stuff from that flight on this thread : http://airlinersindia.s4.bizhat.com/viewtopic.php?t=12751 You're right in that the 74Ds weren't in service then ( they started revenue service for AI in late summer '88 ). _________________ 11000 posts (and counting) on Airliners-India.
