G-BRYV 1 deHavilland Canada DHC Dash 8Q-311 British Airways (Brymon Airways) (Ireland World Tail) MAN 27JUL99
Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 13-Nov-21 (DeNoise AI).
'Colum', Ireland World Tail livery. Operated on behalf of British Airways by franchise partner Brymon Airways.
First flown in Feb-97 with the deHavilland Canada test registration C-GFHZ. It was ordered for Pelangi Air (Malaysia) initially as 9M-PGD then 9M-PGB. Neither was taken up and the order was cancelled.
The aircraft was stored at Toronto-Downsview. Bombardier Inc took delivery of it in Jul-97 and it remained stored until it was leased to Brymon Airways as G-BRYV in Apr-98 and operated on behalf of British Airways Express.
Brymon was merged into British Airways CitiExpress in Mar-02 with the aircraft still operating for British Airways. The operation was renamed BA Connect in Feb-06. In Mar-07 the BA Connect operation was turned over to FlyBe and the aircraft was stored at Exeter (UK) in basic British Airways livery.
It was returned to Bombardier Inc around Jan-08 and was leased to Air Tanzania as 5H-MWG the following month. The aircraft was written off when it crashed during an aborted take-off at Kigoma, Tanzania on 09-Apr-12.
The take-off was abandoned after an engine failure, the aircraft overran the runway, the undercarriage collapsed and the right wing was torn off at the wing root. Surprisingly, there were no injuries! Updated 13-Nov-21
