I've been doing so for a while now. Most of my collection stems from the days when my Dad used to fly AI 707s & then the 747-200s. Does anyone have any other AI aircraft Postcards? Let me know if you want to sell yours if it's not on here. Here is my collection: Air India Issued: Airport Issued: Non Air India Issued: [/img] Last edited by 747-237 on Sun Mar 30, 2008 3:49 am; edited 6 times in total Back to top Birendra Member Joined: 15 Feb 2007 Posts: 1411 Posted: Sun Nov 11, 2007 10:51 pm    Post subject: A very good collection indeed _________________ Dictum meum pactum, "My word is my bond".

I wonder if AI makes any more postcards. The one up here (the one which has old fleets) is pretty sad for an airline issue. They've used a plastic model for the 744 & A300 pics. Looks very cheesy indeed! Back to top sammyk Member Joined: 20 Dec 2006 Posts: 2719 Location: Austin, TX Posted: Sat Nov 17, 2007 7:34 am    Post subject: Awesome postcards.

For instance, the A330 is certainly the Jetphotos one of Rolland Nussbaumer, when the aircraft was registered SE-RBF. I am new to this - what is the general company policy on such matters?

Thanks, Sumantra. Sumantra - I got the latest set (& a couple of others earlier) from a manufacturer in Germany. It seems to be a private individual, as the reverse side of the postcards do not have any publisher / printer's info. Not sure if he himself is the photographer, or has some sort of licence for publishing postcards of other individual's pics. But yes, I too have noticed that the earlier 2 postcards (the 77L VT-ALA tail & the 772ER tail) I got from this source were of pics on a.net. Not sure how that works. There's nothing like an original airline issued postcard, though sadly this seems to have all but died out the world over. I guess privately made postcards are the next best thing.

Nice old colors from the 707 era - too bad we never got to see an AI Concorde or SST.

This is clearly from the pre-production Concorde era - possibly a 1960s issue. Cheers, Sumantra.
