Shalom and greetings all my pals, Allow me to present you an interesting aviation history on how Eastern airline's plane came to rescue for the island of Jersey near England. The island was hit twice by extremely bad fog that forced the EGJJ Jersey airport to shut down twice which resulted into thousands of Heathrow bound passengers stranding in the airport or on the island and same numbers of Jersey bound passengers stranded in Heathrow. British Airways decided to come rescue to solve the massive backlog of stranded passengers by selecting two Lockheed L1011s to clear out backlog. Two out of many L1011s in the British Airways fleet got the assignments. The British Airways registration numbers are N323EA and G-BBAF meaning that if you notice the first registration number, you would realize it is Eastern Airlines plane on lease to British Airways!!! Presenting rescue mission flight from EGLL Heathrow Airport located 14 miles west of center of London to EGJJ Jersey Airport located 4.6 miles west northwest of Saint Helier in island of Jersey which is part of Channel Islands. 100 stranded Jersey island bound passengers boarding the plane at Heathrow. British Airways was not allowed to load more than 100 passengers into their L1011 with 300 passenger capacity due to strict weight restrictions concerning landings on EGJJ Jersey airport Jetway disconnecting from the plane Finished with pushback Check out view of Rolls Royce engine!!! If you cannot afford to buy Rolls Royce car, least you can own Rolls Royce engines in your flight sim! Check out Eastern Airlines registration number!!
