Fokker F27-200 Friendship

Merpati Nusantara Airlines

 

PK-MFP passed through Riem on its way to or from maintenance with Fokker in Woensdrecht. Other Merpati F27s which did the same were PK-MFO in August 1983 (earlier colours) and PK-MFA in October 1990 (later colours).

 

This Fokker F-27-200 served Ansett Airlines of Australia as VH-FNB from October 1959 until sale to Merpati in September 1977 as PK-MFP. It was substantially damaged in a landing accident at Jakarta (Kemayoran) on January 1978. Ferried to Woensdrecht for full repairs in August 1978. Returned to service after repairs in February 1979. Withdrawn from Merpati service and stored Surabaya, Indonesia, in April 1994. Scrapped in October 1998. (Source: aussieairliners.org)
