CP Air Boeing 737-200 - Rare liveries
I'm always interested in aircraft with unusual liveries. While looking at photos of the CP Air B-737 fleet, I came across one that had been leased on several occasions by CP / Canadian from Britannia Airways.
Original registration G-BJCV was originally delivered to Britannia Airways in April 1982 and named for Viscount Trenchard. It seems to have been leased for most of its early lifecycle.
It was leased to CP Air in November 1985 and re-registered as C-GXCP. It flew in the hybrid livery below until returned in January 1986.
It was again leased to Canadian Airlines in October 1987, this time re-registered as C-GCAU, returned in April 1988. It was then leased briefly to Air Sul of Portugal from January 1989 to April 1990.
Acquired by Ryanair in 1994, it was re-registered as EI-CJC and painted in Hertz special colours (hard to miss!).
It finished its career registered as OB-1839-P flying for Star Perú and Peruvian Airlines from June 2006. Rzjets indicates that it was withdrawn from service in March 2014 and placed in storage.
