Think i,ll join the party with this old faithful the British Aerospace Advanced Turbo-Prop, currently another Aberdeen regular.
The aircraft first flew in August 1986 and entered service with British Midland in 1988,In total 64 aircraft were assembled at BAe's Woodford and Prestwick facilities production ended at Prestwick in 1996. In 2001 the ATP Freighter project allowed six ATPs to be converted into cargo aircraft for West Air Sweden.

Here's my selection, again mainly taken from scans of 35mm slides. Unfortunately, I have few usable scans of the LHR regulars (British Midland and Manx) as they were taken on AGFAChrome film which has not aged at all well.

BAe prototypre at Farnborough 1986

THT at Farnborough 1992

British Airways at Edinburgh Turnhouse 1993

BAe demonstrator J61 incarnation at Farnborough 1994

British Airways Express at Southampton Eastleigh 1995

United Express at Chicago O'Hare in 1997

Trident Leasing at Kemble in 1995

Who can remember the nigknames given to them - Norwegian Blue for the British Midland examples, can't recall the others.

Cessna

Subject of your first pic, G-OAAF was involved in a landing accident on 4th March 2015

Probable write-off

That's a shame. She looks a bit of a sad sight in those pics, but at least no one got hurt.

garryrussell · Post by **garryrussell** » Tue Mar 10, 2015 3:39 pm

Maybe a stored example will fly again.

As you say...all walked away, good result.

This sistership last year nowhere near as damaged was written off...onetime G-JEME

here's a couple more of G-MATP at Farnborough 1986 although my pics said 1990 so I've probably got them muddled up a bit

Hi Guys I have a bit of history with the ATP and I note that the first one on this thread was BTTO. While this aircraft was on loan to Manx, it hit a ground power unit while taxying at Belfast City and I have attached an image of what I saw when I arrived for work in the morning. It took a lot of fixing!

A brace from me, all gone but not forgotten.

G-OBWR of British World taken at Southend on 27th May 2001 not long before the airline ceased trading. The aircraft was later registered SE-MAR with West Air Sweden

G-BTZG formally of Merpati Nusantara taken at Woodford on 5th October 2004 where it was in long term storage following return by the previous operator in 1997 . The aircraft was broken up in 2008.

G-BTZK was painted in full SATA Air Acores colours but never put into service. It was previously PK-MTZ of Merpati Nusantara and was also photographed at Woodford. Like its sister ship it was broken up in 2008
