Dassault Falcon 20C N804F
Dassault Falcon 20C N804F (msn 5, probably), of Pan American World Airways, somewhere in the UK, during delivery to the US. This registration was used on at least 4 Falcon 20s for delivery to the USA, in 1965 and 1966. I have chosen the most likely, based on the foliage on the trees and hence the likely time period of August 1965. Falcon 20C msn 5 ??? August 1965 Falcon 20C msn 14 ??? November 1965 Falcon 20C msn 30 ??? April 1966 Falcon 20DC msn 50 ??? August 1966 (unlikely to be this one as there is no cargo door) Date: 1965

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the sleek Dassault Falcon 20C jet, registration N804F, as it undergoes delivery preparations in the United Kingdom during the summer of 1965. The Falcon 20C, msn 5, is seen here with the distinctive livery of Pan American World Airways, a leading international aviation company of the time. The lush foliage on the trees surrounding the airfield suggests an August date for this image, making it a strong contender for being the Falcon 20C, msn 5, being delivered to the US in that month. The Dassault Falcon 20C was a twin-engine, long-range business jet that first flew in 1963. It was a popular choice for private and corporate aviation due to its impressive performance and range. This particular Falcon 20C was one of several that bore the registration N804F during the mid-1960s. Other Falcon 20Cs with this registration were msn 14 (delivered in November 1965), msn 30 (delivered in April 1966), and msn 50 (delivered in August 1966, but unlikely to be this one as it was a Falcon 20DC and had a cargo door). The Falcon 20C was a significant addition to Pan American World Airways' fleet, expanding their capabilities in the private jet market. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of business aviation, as the Falcon 20C was one of the first jets to offer long-range, high-speed travel for private and corporate clients. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the role that companies like Dassault and Pan American World Airways played in shaping the industry. It is a captivating reminder of the excitement and innovation that surrounded the development and delivery of new aircraft during the mid-20th century.
