Sud Est SE.210-10R c/n 235 TC-ARI 'Lale' of
Istanbul Airlines in SAT c/s, at Dusseldorf, 03 May 1986
Built as D-ABAP against an LTU order in 1967, this 10R was sold to another
German charter company, SAT Flug, in October 1979. In the early eighties,
SAT introduced a striking green and yellow colour scheme, and it was this
colour scheme that the next owner of the aircraft, Istanbul Airlines,
initially used after they bought it as TC-ARI in March 1986. TC-ARI was
seen two months later at Dusseldorf after completing a charter flight from
Turkey. TC-ARI was last heard of as being in use as an instructional
airframe in Turkey.Photo and text: Peter Frei |
