FUSELAGE CREATIONS BAe 146-100 G-OFOM ‘F1’

Description

The return of British Aerospace BAe 146 with Fuselage Creations! This time in your possession is the new variant, the BAe 146-100, specially manufactured from G-OFOM.

Let’s take a moment and look back on a 35-year career of the ‘144th – 146’. The ‘little jumbo’, initially destined to come in for the flagship service with British Airways in 1990. Unfortunately, it was never employed by the airline and ended up operating for National Air Charter in Indonesia under the registration PK-DTA. After operating in Asia for a short period of time, the BAe 146 was sold to a US company but largely remained in storage under the US registration N3206T. Transferred to the USA, the aircraft had its VIP cabin modification carried out in 1997.  The millennia for this BAe 146 began with registration change to G-OFOM and the new ownership of Formula One Management. The F1 operated a fleet of two ‘146’s’ for 22 years over various periods, which were used for transportation of employees to F1 events around Europe. In September 2022, G-OFOM was the last ‘146’ in the fleet of Formula One Management and after the completion of the Monza Grand Prix, FOM was retired and ferried to Cranfield airfield.
