This photo
shows PIA Fokker F27 sporting Dutch pre-delivery registration
PH-FPN at Fokker Company's aircraft plant in Holland in 1971.
The Mark 600 Fokker F27 was due for delivery to PIA under
registration AP-AWN but due to separation of East Pakistan as
independent country of Bangladesh in December 1971 a number of
aircraft in PIA fleet became surplus. This resulted in PIA not
taking delivery of this aircraft. Later this Fokker F27 was
gifted by the Dutch government to Biman Bangladesh Airlines of
newly independent Bangladesh. The aircraft sported registration
S2-ABH during its service with Biman |
