Still in the green/black stripes it wore as HZ-BIN. Carried multiple subsequent UK registrations and spent some time in Nigeria as 5N-ALY from 1982-83. Permanently WFU as G-BOCB in 1995. The building to the left served as the airline terminal back then and when it first went up some years earlier, my friends and I had a laugh as it was the same pre-fab design as the overflow classrooms at school.
