Chimbu - good point - but selling a refit to airlines that could not afford new A/C may have made a few guilders.

Voodoo - My memory must be deserting me as I was sure that they had the Saudia tail.

Back Seat - The Fokker 100s were ordered and on the production line when EW was glommed by the Fat Man. The contract was signed sealed and delivered so AN was forced to take delivery of the A/C which I believe were farmed off to AWAS and dry leased to Air Canada or Canadian. I have no doubt that one of them has popped up back is Oz with YC possibly after lease expiring. That F100 is possibly the fifth "owned" aeroplane mentioned.

Shame Eeenie Weenie never got to run them SYDHBA and SYDOOL - that would have rattled a few windows.
