On a working-up training detail at Prestwick. Chieftain Airways was a short-lived Scottish start-up airline providing scheduled services from Glasgow and Edinburgh to Brussels, Frankfurt and Hamburg. Its two HS-748s were accordingly registered G-GLAS and G-EDIN. Services started on 30/3/1987, but the airline entered administration on 13/5/1987 after only six weeks of commercial activity. This aircraft eventually became G-ORAL of Emerald Airways. Scrapped in 2008, with its nose and cockpit section being preserved by Liverpool's Speke Aerodrome Heritage Group.
