        My unreserved apologies for not recognising it's Belgian roots Alex!...

        ... and since this example was built under license by SNCAN in 1946 (c/n 451, previous ident: F-BCXQ) my correction is as follows:

        A UK registered, French built, Belgian designed bi-plane sporting an American F14 Tomcat squadron sticker on its side

        That's a puzzle in itself!

                    "Elementary my dear Watson" ... although there was enough detail in the shot to discount a number of other possibilities, so maybe I should say "Deduction by elimination dear Watson"

                        Hopp Schwiiz! ... Gerardo asked the same question when I started posting on these forums. Here's my answer:

                        I travelled on this aircraft back in 1989 when it replaced the usual A310 on SR803 (LHR-ZRH) - the avatar is from the gate at Heathrow. I was travelling to my Grandfather's funeral in Sarnen which, I'm sure you will know, is the capital of canton Obwalden (my canton as a Swiss citizen) with my mother and aunt. Interestingly, the aircraft had recently been renamed from 'Luzern' to 'Obwalden' and we got an upgrade to business class as we boarded (they didn't know the reason for our trip). So, out of the 11 Swissair flights I've made, it's simply one of my best memories for the very special nature and coincidental things about that flight.

                        Interestingly, 'Obwalden' was also the name of the first aircraft I travelled on when I was just 3 years old - a Swissair CV440 (HB-IMR) and which I still have a flash memory of. How do I know the name: my mother remembers the huge cantonal shield that hung inside the cabin at the front.
