Looking for contact info for the B727 (N reg and the clue is in the reg) that is going to be based at a London (UK) airport very soon. Any leads would be much appreciated.

Thanks and regards

I believe that you will find that most corporate 727s have been modified by hush kits and/or different engines (number 1 and 3) to meet the stage III noise restrictions.

Well, if it IS a B727-21, won't it be one of the original batch delivered to Pan Am?:confused:

I would not have thought that many of those were still airworthy, not even in corporate guise!

About 2 -3 years ago l saw a few of the "new" Panam 727's getting crushed by a digger (type of JCB - Cat ) on the southeast ramp at Sanford..........very sad :{

One of the oldest active 727-100s must be VP-BAB, a 727-76(RE) built in 1966.

This was noted visiting SEN on a couple of occasions last week.
