East-West and the BAE-146
Did East-West actually order the BAE-146 in their own right or did they get allocated to them from the humble Hungarian transport operater's airshow orders, when Ansett acquired them?
I was under the impression that East-West wanted to acquire a number of B737-200 in the mid 1980's in order to get ready for deregulation of the trunk routes. The F28's were onsidered too small for the golden triangle, and would be kept for thinner routes.
This will get old East West Loco in his Apple Isle travel agency fired up!
The ol' Datsun will be flogged on the way around to the RSL!
