Two CL-44s were used briefly for passenger flights from Southend in 1972, G-AZIN flying the first with 170 pax on 28.3.72 to Ostend. G-ATZI joined in 5.72 in mixed vehicle/pax configuration, but both were handed back to TMAC (in 7.72 and 10.72 respectively) due to low volumes. After service with Express Flug, Limburg Air Cargo and British Cargo Airlines, this one (formerly Flying Tiger Line's N450T) was sold to Bayu Indonesia as PK-BAW in 6.82; broken up at Jakarta-Kemayoran in 1992

An order by BAF for the 146 was never forthcoming, despite this demo paint job, although they did short-term lease some 200s and a 300 later on. This, the fourth-built 146, was later re-registered by the RAF, Dan-Air, Merpati, National Jet Systems and Debonair, eventually being broken up at Adelaide in 5.09 after use by Qantas Airlink in 2001 and return to National Jet

After her BWA career which included several lease periods with Sabena, she ended her days marked with 'Fresh' titles for filming and then British Heart Foundation titles/logos for a charity promotion just before the final chop in April 2006
