Hi Nick,
Cannot see the details in the link you kindly provided.
Cannot get past trying to prove that I am human :(
It seems that I am a "Bot" whatever that is ?

Hi Alex do you mean the Dutch DC-2 link? The verification should go off in about 4 secs.


For the record KLM named them after birds using the last letter where possible ie.....
PH-AKN "Nachtegaal" nightingale
PH-AJU "Uiver" stork
PH-AKT "Toekan" toucan
PH-ALO "Oehoe" eagle owl
PH-ARE "Emoe" emu
PH-ALR "Reiger" heron
PH-AKI "Kievit" lapwing (no "I" so used K).
PH-AKR "Rietvink" reed-finch
PH-AKQ "Kwak" (no "Q" so used K = duck sound).
PH-AKM "Maraboe" marabou
PH-AKO "Oeverzwaluw" sand martin
PH-AKS "Sperwer" sparrowhawk
PH-AKP "Perkoetoet" zebra dove
PH-AKJ "Jan van Gent" gannet
PH-AKG "Gaai" Eurasian jay
PH-AKL "Lijster" thrush
PH-AKK "Koetilang" sooty Bulbul
PH-AKH "Haan" hen
PH-ALD "Djalak" starling
PH-ALE "Edelvalk" lanner falcon
PH-ALF "Flamingo" flamingo

I think this is all their DC-2s.
Nick
