ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Check! (This and the rest). Sorry for the unresearched reply. :|
Good to see what developed thereafter.

Guys,

This is indeed a bit of an enigma.
It is painted in the colours worn by the EU-93A (BAe125-800) before they became IU-93A with new colours.
And the preserved on is an old one for sure. So either civil or VU-93 in very fake colours.

Three XU/VU-93 were outside at Recife for some years.
But those were auctioned off for scrap on 23jun09 (2120 and 2126) and 24aug11 (s/n unknown).

There are too many for which I do not have a final fate to hazard a guess, but I will ask some locals :-)

Here some new ifo I received ...

Hello Carl,

I asked some friends if they had information about this plane in Recife.
Nobody knows much about him, but what I gather is the following:
The plane was bought by a civilian in PAMA-RF (Parque de Material Aeronáutico do Recife) after the withdrawn from FAB.
The serial number in the tail are unreal. That plane is painted as a EU-93 (HS-125) from GEIV, but that squadron flew with FAB-2119 and FAB-2121.
The paint scheme are unreal also. The HS-125 never flew with that scheme, used only after the introduction of the Hawker 800 in GEIV, the replacer of that plane.
He turned on a plane without historical interest.

Rgds from Brazil.
