Last Atlantic Airlines L-188 Electra, G-LOFC, departs Coventry for final time

The Electra (at this time under the colours of the Hunting group) graced the skies of Brussels on the Sunday afternoon during the late 1990's.
The noises of the Electras engines was typical and on 18:00, every sundays, 1 to 3 elegant Electra were taking off from Zaventem

by Karl Drage

For the second time in two days, aviation history was written with what was almost certainly the last flight of an aircraft type in UK skies. On Friday, 26 April, the last airworthy BAC 1-11 in Europe was delivered to the Classic Air Force in Newquay, while a day later, on Saturday, 27 April, Atlantic Airways' final Lockheed L-188 Electra, G-LOFC, left Coventry-Baginton Airport bound for a new life in Canada.

Bonjour Yves

Voici retrouvee recemment la "full page " que le Los Angeles Times avait consacree a ma premiere illustration du cockpit du Spirit of St. Louis.
C'etait peu apres notre arrivee a Los Angeles et cette parution a 2 millions 500 mille exemplaires m'a fait connaitre dans le milieu aviation pratiquement immediatement.
Mon premier client des apres la parution a ete la Howard Hughes Company.

Je continue a plancher sur ma nouvelle illustration, beaucoup plus complete.

Amical souvenir / Jean-Luc

PS: Je m'etais precipite a la poste pour faire obliterer le timbre "Spirit of St. Louis" qui celebrait le cinquantenaire du vol historique.
