Scrapped at Dhaka in February 2017

This Friendship 600 served Biman from September 1972 until crashing near Dhaka airport on 5 August 1984.

First registered N367US to Northwest Orient in 7.66, this 707 was acquired by Bangladesh in 12.73 and sold to GAS Air as 5N-AYJ in 6.88. During a cargo flight from Dar es Salaam to Brussels on 13.12.88, made two attempted approaches at Cairo where a stop was scheduled; due to bad weather, diverted to Luxor but apparently ran out of fuel 45 kms short and crashed into a residential area

Northwest were the first operator of this 707 (N385US) from 1968. She was donated to Bangladesh by Japan on 29.9.78 and is seen here in the new colours midway through her career with BG. Ultimately to Brasair/BETA Cargo as PP-BRI in May 94 and stored 1996

Bangladesh's national carrier normally used B707s on their flights into Amsterdam, but after a 707 belly-landed at Singapore in April 1980, they were one aircraft short. An Aer Lingus 707 was leased for 6 months, followed by this very nice DC-8, leased from Cargolux in November 1980. It flew into AMS regularly until the summer of 1981.
