slide taken by Norbert Kröpfl. - Besides four Fairchild F-27s operating for Saudia, there were three different corporate F-27s active with Saudian registrations. HZ-BOF came as a private company aircraft from the US in 1975 and stayed until 1983. In its final years, it was pressed into airline service, first with Britt Airways / Continental Express, and then with Aerocaribe in Mexico. The turboprop was last noted derelict at Cozumel in 2003.

Seen heading for a 28L departure this was an unusual visitor to Heathrow. It was staging through on the way to Saudi Arabia where it became HZ-BOF. It later returned to the US with Continental as N383BA and ended its days with Aerocaribe as XA-RJO and was scrapped at Cozumel in 2003. Scanned from a slide.
