Pre-delivery Fokker registration. To become G-UKTE as van be seen on the nose wheel door. After its days with Air UK the aircraft returned as PH-LXJ in the civil register, but now with KLM Cityhopper.

Originally adorned with a football for the 1994 World Championships the football was replaced by a pair of breasts after the Dutch team lost the quarter final.

'TE' on the nose wheel door indicates G-UKTE. But that registration was not assigned until February 1995. So this picture was taken pre-delivery, making the aircraft PH-LXJ. Unfortunately that registration is obscured by the engine.

Still with Fokker test registration, partly visible over the wing. The aircraft was to be delivered to Air UK four weeks later, where it became G-UKTG, as already can be seen on the 'TG' on the nose wheel door. When Air UK was absorbed into KLM Cityhopper the aircraft became PH-LXP again, but then in full Cityhopper colours.

Both A-302 and A-342 were wfu by the end of 1994 and bound for Chad. They were last seen on display at the Woensdrecht open house. In January 1995 these two helicopters left for Africa.
