Finally the Orange VLM paid us a visit up North. In the last week of service it was scheduled multiple times (thank you VLM!) which enabled me to get a shot of it. A special livery supporting the Dutch national football team in their quest for the 2008 European Cup.

It was a tight squeeze to fit it in! Previously operated with Lufthansa Cityline as D-AFKD. Received new VLM livery in 2011. Damaged beyond economical repair when gear collapsed during pre-departure maintenance at Rotterdam 8 Jul 2011. Painted white and ferried to Norwich just over a week later and stored. Broken up in Jan 2012.

The plane was involved in a landing accident at Groningen GRQ) and was damaged when it overan the runway. It was repaired and renamed 'City of Frankfurt' in May 2008 before joining Cityjet from January 2010 until May 2015.
