Vickers 708 Viscount
It says this aircraft is landing at Flughafen Zürich Kloten though we don't see any evidence to confirm. Furthermore the cockpit is not that of a Caravelle as suggested below but of a Viscount.
Sud Aviation SE 210 Caravelle I
Continuity error with pictures above, showing a Caravelle I taxiing at Flughafen Zürich Kloten.
Registration F-BHRE, c/n 9. Delivered new to Air France in July 1959, named Artois and modified later as Caravelle III. Written off in March 1980 at Paris-Orly (ORY/LFPO).
