slide taken by Adrian Stanislovaitis. - The service life with Britt Airways is over, the airline colours are going to disappear soon, and this Fairchild from 1966 is being prepared for its next and final operator Aerocaribe. It was delivered as XA-RSV, but it should fly for a few months only. In March 1992, the FH-227 was dbr whilst landing at Acapulco and was wfu afterwards.

Delivered to Northeast Airlines as N377NE in 1966 who merged into Delta Air Lines in 1972. To Air New England in 1974 then to Emerald Airlines in 1981, Britt Airways in 1982 and Aerocaribe as XA-RSV in 1991. Damaged in a takeoff accident at Acapulco in 1992. Flown to Merida and scrapped.

Seen taking off at La Guardia. The view from the viewing deck was superb and I wonder what we could do with todays equipment. This was taken with a Canon AE1 and Vivitar Series One, 70-210mm zoom.

This aircraft followed a similar route to N376NE which I just uploaded in Delta colours - Northeast 10.66, merged with DL, Air N/E bought 11.74, to Britt 7.82 and Aerocaribe 1.91 as XA-RSV. Dbr when the gear collapsed on landing at Acapulco 13.3.92 and ferried to Mérida for breaking after temporary fix
