Finnair’s (Helsinki) Caravelle days are being remembered in a movie currently being filmed in Stockholm. The movie centers around the hijacking of a Finnair Caravelle and is called “The Hijack That Went South“. Le Caravelle Club’s Sud Aviation SE.210 Caravelle III SE-DAI (msn 210) has been repainted in the 1966 livery of Finnair as “Super Caravelle” OH-LSB. This OH-LSB is also named “Tampere”. The shade of blue used in the repainting appears to be a lighter shade of blue than what was used in this era. The original OH-LSB (msn 182), also named “Tampere”, was actually a larger SE.210 Caravelle 10B3.
