G-BVZF 2 Boeing 737-59D BMA British Midland Airways LHR 11AUG99
Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 26-Nov-21 (DeNoise AI).
This aircraft was delivered to Linjeflyg (Sweden) as SE-DND in Dec-90. It was originally to have been SE-DNC but that registration wasn't taken up.
Linjeflyg was merged into SAS Scandinavian Airlines in Jan-93 and the aircraft continued in service until it was leased to BMA British Midland Airways as G-BVZF in Mar-95. SAS sold it to a lessor in Oct-99 while the lease to BMA continued.
It was returned to the lessor in Jan-00 and leased to British Airways as G-GFFA the following month. The aircraft returned to the lessor in Sep-08 and was due to be leased to Aeroflot-Don.
This wasn't taken up and instead it was leased to Aeroflot-Nord as VP-BOH in Nov-08. Aeroflot-Nord was renamed Nordavia Regional Airlines in Dec-09 after the partnership with Aeroflot was terminated.
It returned to the lessor and was stored at Bournemouth, UK, in Mar-13. It was sold to Rising Sun Aviation LLC as N409RS in Dec-13 and remained stored. The aircraft was sold to AvTrade Ltd in Mar-14 and was broken up at Bournemouth in Jan/Feb-15.
