slide scan from the NK collection. - This Fokker F-27 spent its whole service life in Iran; it was built in 1960 and was retired after it had been hijacked to Basrah, Iraq in November 1993. It was mainly operated by the Iranian Oil Company.

Registered to Schreiner Airways on 1 Jan 1988, but with additional "International Air Training" titles.

A rarely photographed aircraft in East West Airlines livery.

Abandoned at the western side of Basrah Airfield following the activities at the beginning of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. With NIOC logo on tail and nose.

Just under three months after this photo was taken the aircraft was written off on 23 March, 1993, in a forced landing 175 miles from Addis Ababa. The following is an extract from ASN: The F-27 strayed off course and a precautionary landing had to be made due to fuel exhaustion. The aircraft collided with trees on rollout. The left wing broke off and the gear collapsed.

Delivered to Ansett Transport Industries with MMA titles. The aircraft entered the Australian register 4 August 1970. It was later operated by East West Airlines in March 1971. Finally sold to Air Executive A/S Norway in July 1978 as LN-NPH.

Registered to Schreiner Airways on 1 Jan 1988, and has additional "International Air Training" titles. This aircraft was leased to Air West Express as ST-AWA 10 Jan 1993 and was sadly written off in an off airport emergency landing, near Addis Ababa 1993-03-23, due to fuel starvation after having strayed off course. Luckily all crew and passengers survived.

Delivered as PH-IOT in June 1960, named "Teheran". Re-registered EP-IOT with Iran Air in November 1973. Abandoned at Basra in 1985.

VH-MMB was a bit of an outsider, the only 300 series F27 to be registered in Australia. It was purchased by Ansett for MacRobertson Miller Airlines in August 1970 but then sold in sold seven months later to East-West. When EWA's plans or -MMB fell through, it was used mainly for charters and to cover peak holiday demand and the absence of other aircraft under maintenance, both is own and other airlines. In 1978 -MMB was sold in Norway as LN-NPH.

1961-built Fokker 27 previously operated by MacRobertson Miller Airlines from August 1970 until sale to East-West in March 1971. To Busy Bee as LN-NPH in July 1978.
