The original DC9-15 N65358 eventually (presumably after mods to satisfy the CAA) became G-BMAA but prior to that was operating on the US register for some time, I assume using American crews?
N65358 was BMAs first DC 9 and she was firstly G BFIH. Dove Dale
Iirc we didn't have any USA 🇺🇸 crews flying either of the N reg 9s.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s the baby 9s flew mainly LHR MME LPL or LGW BFS
plus EMA BRU FRA
JER of course every summer weekends from EMA BHX LTN LPL MME and others
Plus summer night flights to PMI ALC RMI GRO PSA IBZ from MME LPL BHX EMA
Also Lourdes flights often out of LPL to Tarbes for Cathedral Tours
