Douglas DC-8

Douglas DC-8 PH-DCF 'Anthony Fokker' was the 6th to be delivered in 1960. I took this picture with my old Agfa Clack 6x9 cm rollfilm camera shortly after it was introduced in regular KLM service. With a shutter speed of 1/30 sec it was quite challenging to take sharp pictures with this type of simple box-camera but this one was really o.k! And.....watch that background! As a kid that DC-8 was pure science fiction to watch while the Connies were already old stuff.....
