This aircraft was displayed at the 1988 Farnborough Airshow. The port engine was replaced with an experimental General Electric ultra high bypass turbo prop engine with contra-rotating propellors. It was very fuel efficient but never entered production and the aircraft was scrapped in 1994. This photo is copyright © Mick Bajcar, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
