This aircraft was acquired ex PH-OGB with Limburg Airways which was based at Maastricht Airport in The Netherlands. Air Anglia merged into Air UK in 1980. G-BCDO was damaged beyond economic repair in an accident at Amsterdam 19 July 1990 when the starboard main gear collapsed during landing. The crew knew in advance that there might be a problem and the Emergency Services were in attendance. A clip of the emergency landing is available on YouTube.
