We had weather diversions on this day. I think this one would have been from Luton. Note the non standard colour scheme without the yellow. Delivered new to Monarch as G-DWHH on 16 March 1982. She spent the next few summers with Monarch and winters with Pacific Western. To CP Air as C-FCPM on 01 December 1986. Later merged into Canadian Airlines then Air Canada. To Aerolineas del Sur as CC-CFD on 08 November 2004, later to Air Comet Chile. To Peruvian Airlines as OB-1955 on 13 August 2010. Believed stored since the airline ceased ops on 2 October 2019.

Seen pre-delivery, I think this may have been a weather diversion from Hatfield. Delivered to PSA as N346PS on 13 June 1984. Reregistered N163US in March 88 and merged into US Air. To Debonair as G-DEBE in July 1996. To CityJet as EI-DMK on 18 January 2006. To Flightline as G-FLTF on 23 April 2008. To TAM Bolivia as FAB-105 on 29 November 2012. Last noted wfu at Cochabamba in October 2013 and presumed later broken up.

Built in 1969 and previously registered N9452N and OO-ISF. A long lived aircraft still current on the Danish register in 2023.

Delivered new to Switzerland as HB-VDK on 4 October 1974. To France as F-BVEC on 12 February 1974. Operated by Compagnie Air Provence International when this photo was taken. To the US register as N4305U in April 1991. To Mexico as XA-SCE on 1 August 1992. There is a photo of it on another site looking in a poor state in October 2016. It had apparently been seized around 20 years prior and may well still be there in 2023.

VH-HBS was a temporary registration for testing and delivery. It received the Thai serial 120 on delivery in July 1984.
