Photo Comment

My 1972 photo shows G-AZUK as BAC's demonstrator of the new Srs 475 One-Eleven. From 1974 it flew for Faucett Peru as OB-R-1080 and is seen here in the splendid colours of its next operator, Mediterranean Express. However the airline lasted only from April 1987 to January 1988 when it went into receivership. After use by London European, Baltic Airlines, Loganair, Ryanair Europe and BAF it went to Nigeria as an executive transport with Oriental Airlines registered 5N-ECI (my 1996 photo here). It was stored at Owerri from August 1998 and later scrapped
