Registered to BAC 9th May 1972 and leased to Faucett as OB-R1080 19th July 1974, returning as G-AZUK 1st March 1987. Operated for Mediterranean Express, Baltic Airlines, Loganair, Ryanair and finally British Air Ferries from Apr 1991. Went to Oriental Airlines as 5N-ECI 23rd Aug 1996

This 1-11 was originally delivered to Faucett Peru in July 1974 as OB-R-1080. From 1987 it became G-AZUK and flew with Mediterranean Express, Balic, Ryanair and BAF/British World before joining Oriental Airlines in June 1996 as 5N-ECI. The plane was strored and then scrapped (correct?) at Imo (Owerri) (QOW), Nigeria aometime after Januray 2004.

Loganair leased this hush-kitted 1-11 for 4 months during the summer of 1989.

Baltic Airlines was a short-lived airline in the late 1980s, which I believe was merged into British Air Ferries. This 1-11 was reportedly leased (from Ryanair?) for April and May 1989 only. By August 1989, it was on lease to Loganair.

First public demonstration of the new 475 Srs which combined a Srs 400 fuselage with Srs 500 wing and powerplant plus rough-airfield landing gear with body protection. Ended up stored in Nigeria after being acquired by Oriental as an executive transport registered 5N-ECI
