F27-400




HZ-KA8 operating from Batha Strip in Saudia Arabia, photo taken in Oct 1996, the aircraft had a military strenthened frieght floor and operated around the Empty Quarter in a combi config carrying mixed cargo, construction workers and equipment.
Suffered from sand erosion of the engine compressors due to the environment, but other than that was extremely reliable, operated for several years with an annual visit to Exeter for maintenance.
