München-Riem

ca. January 1992

 

D-BAKA (2)

Fokker F27-100 Friendship

10198

WDL Aviation

 

Note: D-BAKA (1) was Fokker F27-100 c/n 10109 flying with LTU between April 1966 and May 1969.

 

D-BAKA again wearing WDL titles with a non-standard white tail. The Fokker would be re-painted in spring 1992 in a scheme almost identical to the livery it wore in 1979. The LTU TriStar in the background is D-AERC leased from Eastern, also in a non-standard, bare metal scheme.

 

This Fokker was frequently seen at Riem - a few times as PH-LIP with Philips Vliegdienst (8 December 1967, 21 June 1972), then as D-BAKA with WDL Aviation (from 1975) and DLT through the 1970s and 1980s.

 

Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding:

Delivered new to Philips NV as PH-LIP in Apr-62, it was briefly leased to NLM Cityhopper in Feb-75 and sold to WDL Flugdienst in Apr-75 and registered D-BAKA two months later. It was wet-leased to Crossair between Oct-84 & Feb-85. It was leased to FTG Air Service Flugcharter in Mar-89, they were renamed Field Aviation in Feb-91 and the aircraft was returned to WDL in Oct-91. It continued in service with WDL until it was retired at Essen, Germany in Sep-96.
