Excellent shot.

Given the date of February 27, 1971, the airline (KLM), and the type of aircraft (Boeing 747), the identity of this aircraft is certainly PH-BUA, a Boeing 747-206B (c/n 19922/96) named "The Mississippi" by KLM. Delivered to KLM in January 1971 (KLM's first 747), this aircraft would continue in service with KLM until September 1989, when it was sold to America West Airlines (AWA) and operated as N531AW. The aircraft would eventually be scrapped in Kingman, Arizona, USA, in February 1996.

@TVL1970 Thank you very much for these additional details, very interesting!

The PH-BUA was the first 747 from KLM flying to Australia. I joined this flight from Amsterdam via Zurich, Beirut, Bangkok, Singapore to Sydney.

I love these old photos - such wonderfull colors.

Yes a really talented photographer on a mission. The government really had to sell women in the workplace hard during the war. Photos that showed that women could work hard at mens jobs and still be ladies were important in entice more women to enter the workforce and getting men to accept the necessity.

I LOVE these pictures!! I have never seen the past like this before.. THANK you so much for this album!

She's showing a fair bit of leg for those days! raunchy!

I probably wouldn't be making this comment if I weren't saving a bunch of photos to print for a very young female person -- but if that's a modern vs historic title, it needs to be changed. This worker is not a girl. She's a woman. (And yes, I love these photos. This collection is a treasure.)
