G-AVOF BAC One-Eleven 416 British Caledonian Airways MAN 15JAN84

            Replacing an earlier scanned slide with a better version 26-Oct-21 (DeNoise AI).

Short-term lease to British Caledonian in basic Air Manchester livery.

A rare shot as this aircraft was only leased short-term in this hybrid livery for 10 weeks between mid Nov-83 and the end of Jan-84, it was previously destined for the very short-lived airline Air Manchester, painted in their full livery as G-BMAN but it was never delivered.

Delivered to Autair International Airways in Feb-68 as G-AVOF, it was sold to Cambrian Airways in Dec-69.  The aircraft was briefly leased to Gulf Air in Oct/Nov-74.  Cambrian was merged into British Airways in Apr-76.  The aircraft was sold to British Aerospace in Nov-78 and leased back to British Airways.

It was returned to B.Ae in Aug-80 and stored.  It was due to be sold to Air Manchester in mid 1982 as G-BMAN but they ceased operations and were merged into British Air Ferries in Sep-82.  The sale was cancelled and the aircraft was given the temporary registration G-16-32 with British Aerospace in Sep-82 and became G-AVOF again in Mar-83.

In May-83 it was leased to British Island Airways for the summer season, returning to B.Ae in Nov-83.  A week later it went to British Caledonian Airways on a short-term lease until the end of Jan-84 when it was returned to B.Ae.

It was leased to Dan-Air Services in May-84 for the summer season, returning to B.Ae in Oct-84.  It was sold to Britt Airways (USA) in Mar-85 as N392BA.  In May-87 it was sold to Okada Air, Nigeria, as 5N-AYT.  It was stored at Benin City, Nigeria, in Dec-97 and broken up there around 1999.
