25 slide scan. Delivered 1968 as VP-BCZ to Bahamas Airways. Laker G-AXMU 1969, PAL PI-C1151 1969, Gulf Air G-AXMU 1971, reregistered A4O-BU 1975, BIA G-AXMU 1979, merged into Air UK 1979. BIA reformed as independent airline 1982 , leased to Air UK 1985-1988. Okada Air 5N-AXQ 1990, withdrawn Benin CIty by 1997. Had been in hybrid Air UK colours before and is thus missing the fuselage titles. Many older airliners in the late 70's and 80's were not capable of CAT II or III approaches and were often involved in weather diversions during the winter months, seen here on such an occasion.
