Information on the DC-9 Series 20 from flickr - thanks to Chris (Heathrow Junkie):
The DC-9 Series 20 was designed especially for SAS who required improved short field performance (by using the more powerful engines and improved wings of the Series 30 combined with the shorter fuselage of the Series 10. Ten Series 20 aircraft were produced, all of them the Model 21 - one was unfortunately written off in an accident in 1973 (LN-RLM).
