Not a perfect shot of this aircraft. G-BKMS was leased by Orion Airways from Air Belgium, and in the latter's livery with only a change of titles.

Being flown by Bahamasair, leased from Air Belgium. It had previously been leased by Britannia Airways, whose titles can just be seen on the forward fuselage.

Lease 737 from ILFC and she has flown for many airlines in the past, starting her carier in 1981 for Air Belgium. Between May 1990 and September 1991 operating for Sultan Air. Stored nowadays in Jakarta

Sadly my shutter speed was too low! This frame flew with a long list of operators, too many to mention here.

This frame also, among others, previously operated for Air Belgium OO-RVM and Orion Airways G-BKMS. It later went back to the UK as G-BKMS but operating with Amberair and Paramount Airways. It went on to operate with several more airlines including TC-JUS Sultan Air, HA-LEH Malev and LY-GPA Lithuanian Airlines.

Equally not the best of photographs, this aircraft was owned by ILFC and leased/sub-leased to various airlines. As far as this period was concerened, before joining Orion Airways (on lease), it was previously with Air Belgium (OO-RVM) and is seen here still in their basic cols. It was sub leased by Orion to Wien Alaska 10 Oct 83 to 22 Apr 84. Then Orion continued to use it until it was returned to ILFC in Nov 84.
