Atlantic Airlines’ last airworthy Lockheed Electra, the pictured 188C (F) G-LOFC (msn 1100),
ferried from Katowice to Coventry in the early hours of Saturday April 27 after operating the final Electra commercial flight from Leipzig on behalf of DHL.

The converted freighter has been sold to Buffalo Airways (Yellowknife) and departed for Keflavik just after 1045 local time.

Atlantic Airlines staff were out in force to wave it off, the departure was filmed for “Ice Pilots”, it received a water canon salute.
etc etc etc...

The last flying BAC One-Eleven in Europe is now grounded as well since Friday the 26th of April,

The end of an era... :cry:
