The "City of Everett" opened to the public today after restoration ... the Air India Centaur is back on a 747 again.

Nice pics, and nice to know that the Centaur came on board the B741, though AI never had any of the type. On a silly note, I read the NLG wheel well door code RA001, as `raddi' (rubbish).
Cheers, Sumantra. |

Here is a better view of the Centaur, from 1968.

I just knew someone would say that - though I didn't figure that would be you.
And I believe "raddi" is "scrap", rather than garbage. _________________ 11000 posts (and counting) on Airliners-India.
