Photo Comment

Overshooting Prestwick's then Runway 13. Built by Short Brothers and Harland, Belfast. Given the short transit time, approaches at Prestwick were often used by the manufacturer for test and training flights. Leased to Inter City Airlines in April 1981. Re-registered G-OGIL in 1989. Damaged beyond repair in a taxi-ing collision at Newcastle in 1992. Gill Air bought it from the insurers for spares. Remains later preserved at the North East Aircraft Museum, Sunderland.
