Caught during the first few days of her lease from Finnair, in 1965 this was only the sixth DC-9 to be built. Firstly Air Canada's CF-TLC, she quickly passed to Trans Texas/International (N1792U). BMA registered her G-BMAH in 6.83 and in 12.95 she wound up in Colombia with Intercontinental as HK-4056X, ultimately being broken up at Bogotá in 09.03

First registered G-ATPI to British Eagle in May.67 and went to Quebecair in April.69, serving until sold to Airways Cymru in Novmeber.84. Looking sharp here during lease to BMA; after use by Manx and storage, sold to Okada as 5N-OVE in May.91 and became very derelict at Benin City, Nigeria along with many others

Another airline gone for ever

Ex I-ATIS of ATI and PH-KFH of NLM, this F27 was bought by BMA in 11.82 and is seen after repaint in the new colours, which didn't last long on the Friendship. Sold to Northwest feeder Mesaba in 11.88 as N275MA and eventually scrapped at a private airport in Denver, NC by 2003

The second ATP to be built later became G-MAUD with Manx, British Regional/CitiExpress and Loganair before sale to West Air Sweden in 8.06 as SE-MAF

Now operated by British Airways

To G-OZBL with Monarch in May 2006
