In freight configuration. Founded in 1988, Stansted-based charter airline Titan has grown consistently in both the size of aircraft operated and fleet size over its lifetime.

My ride from St Thomas to St Croix the next day. Coral Air was based in St Croix and operated from 1980 to 1985 with quite some problems in between. At the time this photo was taken they were operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. I have never found out what the Kangaroo logo was about but it may have been connected to their island hopping type of operation. Many years later this aircraft, as G-SSWN with Streamline Aviation, was damaged beyond repair when it was involved in a runway collision with an Air Liberte MD-83 (F-GHED) at Paris CDG on 25 Apr 2000.

Ex 5N-AOX, registered 20th Jan 1989. It was re-registered G-SSWN 3rd March 2000 and on the 25th May 2000 it was written off in LFPG when it was cleared to taxi onto the runway while an MD-80 (F-GHED) was on its take-off roll, hitting the cockpit section, killing the first officer.
