Information from flickr - thanks to Guido Allieri:

Fokker F-27-600 c/n 10323 was delivered in March 1967 to Balair as HB-AAW. In October 1971 it was sold to Gulf Aviation as G-AZFD and in October 1975 went on to Gulf Air as A4O-FD. In June 1981 it was transferred to Oman Aviation Services Company Ltd. In may 1983 the aircraft was leased to XP INternational BV as PH-FKT (PH-XPA not taken-up). In September 1989 it was acquired by Schreiner Airways and in April 1991 leased to Eurojet International. In November 1993 it was bought by WDL as D-AELF to be retired in October 2002 and scrapped by January 2009.
