Noen her inn som vet om Sterling Philipines fløy med "orginal" NB bemaling?

Jeg har sett flere bilder av flyene til Sterling Phillipines opp gjennom årene, men jeg kjenner ikke til historien til dette selskapet. Kanskje noen andre på forumet sitter med info og kan dele med oss andre?

Jeg har visst om dette selskapet siden "gamle dager" og husker at jeg ble overrasket da jeg så bilde av en slik DC-8. Har det for meg at jeg så bildet i en Tjæreborgkatalog på den tiden de drev på. Dette må tas med en klype salt siden det faktisk er over 30 år siden og hva slags operasjoner de drev med, har jeg i dag ingen formening om!

Från John Weggs Caravelle-bok: "In 1975 Sterling Airways and the Danish Industrialisation Fund for Developing Countries (IFU) each took a 20% stake in a new charter company, Sterling Philippines Airways. In accordance with local company law, Philippine investors owned the remaining 60%. The aim was to fly charters between Japan and the Philippines, initially with a single Super Caravelle leased from Sterling, now surplus following the delivery of Boeing 727-200s. Eventually, it was expected that a total of three or four Caravelles would be transferred to the Philippines. Although painted with Sterling Phipippines titles on 25 March 1975, no.275/OY-STF was not delivered to Manila until the following October. Re-registered RP-C123, it was named Lapu-Lapu after the chief of the island of Mactan, Cebu , who was the first Filipino to fight Spanish colonisation and who killed Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese leader of the first Spanish expedition to the archipelago. Operations began in October 1975 between the Philippines and Hong Kong and the following year rights were obtained to fly to Japan The Caravelle, which was supplemented by a DC-8-51 in 1977, was returned to Sterling two years later."
