Just spreading the word from Mr. Clarks's OneEleven site -
Last 1-11-operator kyrgyz TrastAero have relaunched their website at http://trastaero.com/

This clearly reveals that they have three aircraft still in service, one of them being an ex-BA 510ED saved from Nigeria.

Nice! :rock:

That flightdeck shot clearly shows the panel started life as a 510 even though they've binned most of the Smiths instruments in favour of the more common Collins. Good stuff and a good find :thumbsup:

It seems they are flyimg two.......the 510ED is stored ex G-AVMM

That could be the 510 in the white as it has no forward steps either and as you say Dave the panel looks like it :)

The white aircraft is the 510ED: note the antenna over the front door which would not be present on the other two (ex-TAROM) aircraft. The photo of the tailcone seems to show that the No. 1 engine cowling is either missing or removed so perhaps it's not in service as yet, or is just stored as Garry suggests. The picture is also a good illustration of the hush-kit installation. Zany colour scheme on the other aircraft: EX-086 also saw service with Ryanair once upon a time.
