A Mix of the Air UK Fleet in Wintry Conditions
G ASKK Handley Page HPR7 Herald 211. Southampton 1981.
Served with BUA from 1967, infamous in that it was the heaviest of the Herald fleet and not much liked by the cargo department ! Pictured in the modified scheme which it carried until withdrawn in 1985. In good care with the City of Norwich Aviation Museum. Photo Barry Friend.
G BHMX Fokker F27-200. Glasgow January 1985.

G BHMY Fokker F27-200. Southampton March 1987.
In service from 1980 it is shown here wearing the modified scheme. In 2000 it was moved to the City of Norwich Aviation Museum, re-sprayed in 2014 and displays the final colour scheme. Inside the cabin it looks like it is ready for its next scheduled service. Photo Richard Hunt.
