Besides taking pictures of aircraft, I also collect the
safety cards which you can find on board. You know those plastic or cardboard
cards that say what to do in case of a crash-landing or ditching. Remember NEVER
to panic ;-)
                                                    
The list is sorted alphabetically on the name of the company.
For each company, the cards have been sorted on 'Type'. To go to the
thumbnails, click on one of the bars above. Then just click on a thumbnail to
get a bigger picture. All dimensions are in centimeter. This list has been

You know, sometimes those cards can be fun... Look for the
humour in this image taken from the Air Finland 757-200 safety card.
It is also very interesting to see what the aircraft interior
looks like. The next picture shows Berlusconi's A319CJ (Aeronautica Militare
Italiana).
There is this awesome book about safety cards. It's called 'Design
For Impact'. It takes you way back to the very beginning of the safety
cards, to an era in aviation where men wore high hats and their women fancy
dresses. It turns out that the first 'real' safety cards were introduced on
board airplanes in the Thirties. They mostly consisted of written words, where
today's cards only contain pictures and drawings. Anyway, if any of you is
looking for an interesting book to read with a lot of pictures of old safety
cards, then this is a 'must have'.
My collection:
I have over 10.000 cards and I am rather proud of my collection.
| There are some special or rare examples:
|
What do I hope to accomplish?
|
First of all, I hope one day to be able to give a complete
overview of all the Belgian safety cards ever published. I know this is
going to be a near impossible task. But, there is no rush, I have all the
time. You could call it a life's work. |
|
Secondly, I want to have a safety card from every aircraft I
have on photo. |
|
Thirdly, as the Lockheed TriStar is my favourite aircraft, the
safety cards on board these gracious iron birds are dear to me as well.
|
|
Last, but certainly not least: there has to be passion, but it
should not become an obsession. |
If you are interested, I have a list of spare cards. Just send me an
email
and I'm sure we can work something out. Credits:
