EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph, Convair CV880M VR-HGA of Cathay Pacific gracefully taxis on the tarmac of Tokyo Haneda International Airport on September 9, 1968. The Convair CV-880 is a mid-sized, long-range, twin-engine jet airliner, manufactured by the Convair Division of General Dynamics. This specific aircraft, registered as VR-HGA, was delivered new to Cathay Pacific in 1964 and was a vital addition to their expanding fleet. The image captures the essence of aviation history, as air travel was becoming increasingly popular during the late 1960s. The Convair CV880M, with its distinctive design and powerful engines, represented the future of air transportation. The photograph's composition, with the aircraft's shadow stretching across the tarmac and the airport buildings in the background, adds depth and dimension to the scene. Cathay Pacific, a renowned international airline based in Hong Kong, was known for its commitment to providing exceptional service and comfort to its passengers. The airline's livery, featuring a green dragon emblazoned on the tailfin, was a symbol of its rich heritage and cultural significance. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of air travel during the late 1960s. The Convair CV880M VR-HGA, with its powerful engines and sleek design, embodies the spirit of innovation and progress that defined the aviation industry during this era. This image is an invaluable addition to any collection of aviation history or transportation memorabilia.
