B-737 of many colours
While looking through the various aircraft that had once flown for Quebecair, I came across a B-737-200 with an interesting history and numerous liveries over almost 45 years of service.
MSN 220752 Line #623 was originally delivered, under registration OY-APO, to Maersk Air of Denmark in December 1979 (see photo here).
It was acquired by Chemco International in March 1982 and began its career in Canada under new registration C-GQBA. It was leased to Quebecair in August 1982 (photo below). It was leased to Air Nauru (registration C2-RN9) in September 1983 and then returned to Canada when acquired by CP Air in October 1985.
Re-registered as C-FACP, its livery was to change several times through the many acquisitions during the years to follow.

It was re-registered as C-GNLA when acquired by Nolinor Aviation in September 2016 (see photo here). It was withdrawn from service in October 2019 and stored at Mirabel.
