This would be one of the Berlin Corridor flights, operated by UK and US airlines. From the 1950s to the 1970s both Pan Am and BEA/BA were competitive on all the main routes, but in the mid-1970s there was an agreement, and they concentrated on different points. I think Pan Am got Munich. And by 1982 the longstanding 727 operation was likely changed over to some rather ramshackle 737s, a number ex-Air Florida with only partially repainted liveries, not really the best of images for Pan Am at all. You could see them at weekends at places like Palma, where they operated holiday flights down from Berlin.
