Again enclosed G-BALZ and its old mate G-BFER Mauritania 2006 and they're still there !!! The 412 replacement due January never materialised: well it was Tyreburst who said they were coming !!
By the way I also can remember G-BALZ in the BEAS green because I worked on her in the Brent 77 to 79 along with G-BBBP. but the little yellow BEAS sticker seems to be missing from the C Box intake area.
Was it G-BALZ in 1976/77 who used to wake us Anderson High School Students up at about 0715, about half an hour before the wake up alarm sounded, in the Janet Courtney hostel in Lerwick?
Could never get back to sleep after that!!
Cursed her many times!!

I think you're right. She was working off the Viking Piper at the time.
After listening to her at the JCH, I worked on her for many years. Maybe I'll get my scanner working, I know I have a ton of pictures of her over the years.

G-BFER is in bits at Shawbury and will reappear as a military machine at a future date. It will replace the the Shawbury aircraft (ZJ969 ex VR-BEJ, EP-HCZ, G-BGLJ, 5N-AJX, 9Y-TIJ) which went to Belize to replace ZJ965 (s/n 31170 ex 9V-BMG,G-BJGU,5N-ALS,G-BJGU) which crashed last year.
