Tekno SAS DC-8???

Hi Tekno-

Please pardon my tardy response here!!

Our family went to Copenhagen on these approximate years...1965, 1967 or '68, circa 1971, and 1980 or '81...the trip in '81, I spent some time at the end of the runway at Kastrup...I recall BEA Tridents coming in, a few of them, TU-134s too! A real treat for someone from San Francisco...

It was like going to another planet...I loved it...I was 4 in '65, so Thorngreens (Is it still there?) and Magasines is where the "Goodies" were, and we could usually pic something out from our trip as long we behaved ourselves, etc.

I LOVED Copenhagen...hope to get back one day...the yellow busses and streetcars are fond memories, and those little hot dog stands...the BEST dog I ever had! That hot mustard seemed so unique!

Here is a pic of my brother Eric and I with the Little Mermaid, circa '67:

Also have a pic not posted yet taken from the SAS "Royal Hotel...is it still there? Looking down onto the train station below.

Thanks again guys for all the great Tekno info, and for solving the mystery of no DC-8.

In Copenhagen now! Thorngreens is long gone, i am sorry to say. The big department store - Magasin - http://www.magasin.dk/alt-om-magasin-he ... n-du-Nord/ - is still there.

So is the SAS Royal - now is a Radisson - http://www.radissonblu.dk/royalhotel-koebenhavn - same Danish design furniture.

I saw no Tekno airplanes at the local old toy fair this weekend - lots of TEKNO and VILMER though...

The Magasin logo looks like the same font I recall from the '60s?!
