HS-TGS —

This photo was taken mid 1970s,latest time July 1976. Production search shows serial number 46150, line number 539. Delivery date shows 31 March 1979 as a cargo configuration.

Wrong, this is a DC-30 using the original -and very noisy- P&W JT4A engines with roundish cowling and distinct exhaust "flute" noise attenuator and reverse clam shells and flew only until the mid-60s when there were superceded by the DC-8-60s series fitted with more efficient JT3D turbofan engines, cowlings were streamlined and the noise was more civilized.

Typo correction, this aircraft is a DC-8-30, the rest is OK

Aircraft type doesn't accept DC83. However it accept DC86, have gone with that as it will show the manufacturer.
