Hi Condor - as mentioned elsewhere, the LBA overrun was by 'AI, not 'AJ.
Was the extensive repairs necessary after the overrun the reason for this a/c not being upgraded?
A colleague who worked at the airport at the time commented that this aircarft seemed to have some special comms kit (non standard aerials etc.) fittted. Perhaps it was modded for VIP duties.
