Originally delivered in Feb 1973 to Court Line as G-BAAA and given the name Halcyon Days. Hence the tribute "Return of Halcyon Days" on engine #2. Court Line ceased operations in Aug 1974 and the aircraft was returned to Lockheed. In Mar 1977 it was acquired by Cathay Pacific as VR-HHV. In Jan 1997 it was leased to 'paper' airline TBG Airways and operated by Aer Turas. Further leases ensued to numerous operators until the end of October 1999. It then ferried to Abu Dhabi in Nov 1999 awaiting a 'C' check, but this never took place and it was finally broken up at Abu Dhabi circa 2006.
