Replacing an earlier scanned slide with a better version 07-Feb-16.
InterCity Airlines, leased from & operated by Guernsey Airlines.
First flown as G-14-3068 with Short Brothers & Harland, the aircraft was leased to Inter City Airlines in Apr-81 as G-BITV. It was sub-leased to BAF British Air Ferries in Aug-83 and repossessed by Short Brothers in Nov-83. It was leased to Air Ecosse the following month. In Mar-85 it was sub-leased to Brymon Airways, returning to Air Ecosse in Sep-85. It was returned to Short Brothers in Sep-86 and then leased, short-term, to Syd-Aero between Oct/Dec-86. In May-87 it was leased to Connectair and operated on behalf of British Caledonian Commuter/Caledonian Link. Returning to Short Brothers in Jan-89, it was re-registered G-OGIL and leased to Gill Air the following month. On 10-Jul-92 the aircraft was damaged beyond repair at Newcastle during a taxiing accident. Gill Air bought it from the Insurers in Oct-92 and it was used for spares. The remains were later preserved at the North East Aircraft Museum, Sunderland, UK.
Note: The aircraft taxied into a vehicle and a hangar at Gill Air's base at Newcastle, UK, striking another Shorts 330, G-BIFH. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
