Unfortunately this aircraft crashed while owned/in service by Adam Air of Indonesia. All 102 people on board were killed. The CVR and FDR were recovered more than eight months after the crash, which solved the mystery of the break up in flight. Both pilots were busy trouble shooting IRS problem and didn't realise that the auto pilot had disengaged due to the IRS problems. It went into a more than 30 degree bank, causing it to break up before plunging into the sea in Indonesia. The pilots were unable to recover from the bank as they reportedly became spatially disoriented. Info source - Aviation Safety Network.
Delivered new to Dan Air in 1989 and became part of BA fleet only two weeks before this photo was taken. It also served with GB Airways, National Jets Italy, WFBN, Air One and JAT Airways before being acquired by Adam air in 2005.
