Safety Cards

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 updated on 11/01/2023.

My collection sorted by company, country and type.

With the beginning of the new year, I want to set myself some collecting targets:

	Armée de l'Air A400M
	Luftwaffe A400M
	Royal Air Force A400M
	Turkish Air Force A400M
	Slovak Government Fokker 100

Cards I am looking for (contact me if you have any of these for TRADE or sale):

	Old Belgian cards (Sabena, Sobelair, Pomair, Abelag Airways, Belgian Air Force, ...)
	Air Congo and Air Zaïre
	Air Force One and Marine One
	SOFIA 747SP (edition 2010) & other NASA cards (DC-8, ...)
	Dutch Government Fokker 70 PH-KBX
	Las Vegas Sands L-1011, A340-500, 767-300 and 737-700
	ARAMCO Embraer 170
	Douglas DC-10 e.g. Orbis
	Lockheed TriStar
	Boeing 747SP
	Caravelle

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 9.500 cards and I am rather proud of my collection.

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.
