OY-MBE De Havilland Canada DHC-7-102 Dash 7 (cn 77), Maersk Air

            Southend 26 May 1986

For some reason Southend has always had a problem attracting reliable, long-term scheduled services. Many airlines have tried over the years but, until recently, very few have managed to make any lasting impression. Maersk was one of the few carriers that could be said to have had any real success, albeit on what  was only a minor route, and one that apparently rarely made a profit. The Billund to Southend route was inaugurated in Nov 1984 as a twice-daily M-F business class-only service. Initially it was flown with Dash 7s, with Fokker 50s taking over in 1988. The Southend service continued until mid-1990, when Maersk switched its UK flights to Gatwick. Nearly six years flying from Southend was a long time!
Southend may have seemed an odd destination for Maersk Dash 7s, but it was the only place in the UK where you could see them. OY-MBE is seen here arriving on the evening service from Billund (DM103).
