Built in 1970 for the Kuwait AF as 110, withdrawn in 1986 and sold to BAe becoming ZG805 before sale, after rework, to Botswana as OJ1 in 1988. Botswana retired their Strikemaster fleet in 1997 and most survivors including OJ1 were sold to Global Aviation in the UK. Registered as G-BXFU it was one of two sold to Ecuador in March 2007 to augment their existing Strikemaster fleet, the first of which (eight Mk89s), were delivered in 1972, and it was one of the last to be withdrawn when they retired the type in July 2009. Still believed to be stored/preserved at Manta at time of upload. This photo is copyright © Tim Spearman, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
