BAe 146 / Avro Regional Jet (Avroliner)

The first
BAe 146 - a series 100 - was delivered to Dan-Air London on 23
May 1983 with the registration G-BKMN. This was the sixth
146 built (MSN E1006) - the first of the aircraft not used
for the certification. The first flight was on 5 May 1983. The
aircraft served by Dan-Air London until the airline went in to
receivership in 1992. Davies & Newman (the parent company
of Dan-Air) sold the airline to British Airways
for £1, but G-BKMN was returned to BAe on 14 July 1992.
From August that same year until end of October 1933 E1006 was
in
storage at Hatfield. On 25 October 1993 it was moved to BAe Warton,
and almost ten months later it was flown to Stansted. It was
supposed to be given the a new registration, G-ODAN, but a lease
didn't materialise. Finally on 11 October 1994 it was leased
out to
Malmö Aviation, the first six months or so it was still
registered G-BKMN, but on 26 July 1995 it entered the Swedish
Registry as
SE-DRH. By Malmö Aviation it stayed for little over two
year. In January 1997 it was sub-leased to CityJet and got its
new registration EI-COF. On 30 December 1997 CityJet returned
the aircraft to Malmö Aviation, and in February 1998 the
aircraft was back in the hands of BAe. After having gone through
a full
check, the whole interior was replaced and finally a quick
visit to the paint box. On 20 June 1998 the E1006 departed in
silver
colours
with
a large
F1 on the tail. It was now the "new"
Business Jet for the Formula 1 Administration and
had the registration G-OFOA.
