Remember fondly the days of the BD 707 base at BHX. Crews were a great bunch of people to socialise with!
No, BMA's 212 was the most ever. This entailed re-fitting the aft of the wing hatch with the new 757 type exit door with slide (same as Door 3L/R on a 757)
186/189 was the norm for a 320/430 series
170 to 179 for a 120B/720B
154 for a 138B
