VH-TFD  Fokker F.27    'William Landsborough'                                 c/n  10114

                                    First TAA service flown on 28 May 1959.  Greg Banfield saw it somewhat later (above) at
                                    Mascot in October 1964 by which time the livery had gone through a couple of minor changes,
                                    including  "TAA - The Nation's Jetline" titling on the under fuselage.   It flew with TAA until its
                                    withdrawal from active duty in October 1980.   It later was to see service with Pilgrim Airlines
                                    of New London/Groton, Connecticut.   My good friend, and invaluable contributor to my US
                                    Airline section, Bob Garrard, took a shot of it on short finals into Ronald Reagan (National) Air-
                                    port, Washington, D.C. in June 1983 (below) in full Pilgrim livery.   When Pilgrim was bought
                                    out by Business Express, it was absorbed into their fleet.  It was later leased to Taymi, SA in
                                    Peru as OB-1644 in 1996, and ostensibly sold from there to Air Dabia in The Gambia.  In the
                                    event I don't think that company ever "got off the ground" and c/n 10114 was last listed as being
                                    stored  at Banjul Airport.   .
