Excellent, thanks for posting Eric.

(As a P.S. re your other post about Kathmandu, I think your aircraft was a RNAC B727 Combi - 3 engines at the back, not 2 on each wing. In another life RNAC used to be a customer of mine and I used to go there a lot. Happy days).

Nope.

I did once fly in an RNAC Dakota (I think!), Pokhara-Kathmandu, also half full of freight, but this particular one was Bangladesh Biman. At the time their fleet was 3x DC10/30, 4x 707, plus a raft of smaller things for local flights.

I flew one of the Biman 707s to Heathrow on Christmas/Boxing day once. It was supposed to be a DC10 but there weren't enough passengers*. I got invited to the cockpit for most of the trip across the Med and the Alps - wonderful view!

*There was a relief DC10 crew and either three or five actual passengers, me included.
 
Ahhhhh, Eric, Biman Bangladesh, another "blast from the past" (though like RNAC, they still exist - I think). I stand corrected.
