Mrs WHBM is still laughing at how I just woke up instantly at the sound of it ! Anyone like to guess where this happened, and which airline (no longer in business) it has the colours of ?
OK, I really had to dig to try even a partial answer -- I think it's HB-ISC http://http://www.sr692.com/fleet/12_dc3/isc3.jpgwith Swissair livery -- operated by either Classic Air or JU-Air on a charter. But where were you? Wild guess Majorca, a good charter destination -- but then so is most of southern Spain and Portugal, so I'm probably way off base.
