Faucett/Air Malta - what a dreadful story.
Back in the late 70s/early 80s there was a 727-200 lying semi derelict to the east of the runway at Corfu. It had either overrun or left the runway and ended up in the "lagoon" beside the runway. I think it was even supported by oil barrels.
Some while after I first saw it there, it was recovered, repaired and returned to service with Dan-Air. It was distinctive because it had a 4 metre (or so) brace on the top of the fuselage from just behind the crown point to about abeam the leading edge. Apparently a support for where the aircraft had broken its back. The repair was probably a lot more sophisticated then my schoolboy interpretation, but nevertheless I believe it did many years of sterling service once it was back in action.
Could it have been G-BMLP?
Saw it because at the time I was flying that other icon of the IT holiday charter market - the 737-200 for a UK airline.
