G-AREK was wet-leased from BAF by Pauling Middle East Company LLC from June 1974 to February 1976. It then entered a period of storage at Southend, as seen here. It was brought back to flying status for UNI Air in June 1977, flying to Toulouse on 6th July 1977 and receiving French registration F-BYCL the same day. Proposed contracts did not materialise and the aircraft remained stored at Toulouse for 2 years until purchased for use by Falcon Airways becoming N83FA on 4th August 1979. Sadly, it crashed into a shopping mall on take-off from Griffin, GA on 4th April 1997.
