This 727 was originally delivered to Singapore Airlines as 9V-SGJ in August 1979 and then flew from March until December 1985 with Alaska as N310AS. The plane then passed through various holding companies (as VR-CAJ(?), VR-COJ and N31TR) before joining MK Airlines in July 2009. It arrived at EGHL in May 2010 and was in use as a ground trainer but was later scrapped, although the fuselage hulk still survives on the field.

Remote-parked in the fading evening light. Compare with Rolf Wallner's 2007 photo - no winglets and no extra electronics "bumps" in this photo.

This beauty had to wait for a minute to cross runway 28 so I had time to position myself for a clean shot.

The B727s were in the process of being phased out and I think this was one of only two still operating with SIA at the time. Just over 3 months after this photo this frame went to Alaska Airlines as N310AS. Many years later, in 2010, it was stored at Lasham (UK) as VP-CMO. Broken up some years later.
