RT by @SpaethFlies: This week's blast from the past are these images of @airindia 's very first #B747 - VT-EBD which were taken at the @BoeingAirplanes Everett Factory in March 1971. The aircraft arrived in #Mumbai on 18th April 1971 and was opened for public viewing on 21st April 1971 at the old Santacruz airport. As you can imagine, photographs such as these are rare which is why please do retweet this so that other too may be able to relive this moment in history. #AvGeek
