G-BMHG Air Europe Boeing 737-2S3 seen parked up at Luton airport

The Boeing Collection
From a collection of some 500 Boeing slides that I've had scanned from my archives. Hope they will provide some enjoyment and nostalgia from a bygone age.

I had gone up specially to Luton airport to view the ultra-rare Gulf Air Boeing 737-2P6 A40-BJ which had stopped off on its delivery flight. Arriving early in the morning in order not to miss it, I deemed this brand new Air Europe 737 was also worth photographing.

G-BMHG c/n 21774 Boeing 737-2S3 was delivered new to Air Europe ion 5th April 1979 [pictured above on delivery day!], and flew with the airline for five years before being sold to British Airtours. The aircraft then went through a number of identities - OO-TYD with TEA, EI-BPY with Western Airlines, N367DL with Delta Airlines and YV-216C then YV-1381 with Rutaca Airlines of Venezuela. The aircraft was only withdrawn for spares in 2006.

Air Europe 1978-1991
Air Europe's first commercial air service was on 4 May 1979. The airline expanded throughout the 1980s, but then went bankrupt in 1991. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Europe

Taken with a Soviet made Zenith E camera and standard lens. From an original slide, scanned and unrestored.
