Okay thanks, I thought they were referring to the Fokker F27.

No aircraft are perfect of course, but the F27 is one of my all time favourites.

That ferry with VH-FNR, half way round the World, we had a few small problems but nothing we could not live with, one maxaret played up and one engine we lost water meth, but neither mattered as we were using big International Airports where the runways were several times longer than we needed.

When I got back to MEL I found out the office people there had a sweep on where we would breakdown, the favourite was Karachi but we spolit their sweep and made it with no delays at all to Norwich.
