ta, I remember seeing the kg logo on it.
Bit of registration nostalgia, in 87 bizarrely for the time there were 2 w patterns into ncl on a Monday from Mahon. Orion and Monarch with 737-200’s. Despite all the brand new -300’s they had between them we only got to see BHVH and BKHO from
Orion and Monarch BMON and DFUB.
In 88, the Monarch flight was planned to be a 757 and I was booked it on it with my parents. Sadly, the excitement of going on a relatively large and brand new 757 (had to wait until 1999 to get on G-BYAJ and 2006 to go on Monarch) was replaced by going on one of the oldest and smallest charter aircraft at the time, a BIA 1-11 400 when the series eventually started!
