Not something I expected to find during my travels in Panama. This Fokker 50 has a Panamanian registration, a Flybe logo, and CityJet colors. This was previously PH-DMD with Denim Air who flew it on behalf of Flybe, and before that OO-VLL with CityJet and VLM. Going back further in history, it flew with Austrian Airlines as OE-LFD. Nowadays it seems to be a spare or parts source for Air Panama, with a pair of company Fokker 100s seen behind, along with a few turboprops.

Ex TF-JMG, PH-DMD, SE-LEM, OE-LFD, PH-EXS. Restored as PH-DMD in September 2016, then became HP-1922PST in January 2017.

Just one wheel of this early morning arrival touches the runway at Manchester.
