Just a thought – it is said above somewhere that Titan have B733QCs – i don’t think this is the case- they have 146QCs but i think G-ZAPM is only a pax a/c.
The Bluebird cargo B737-330QC used to fly thought LBA when it was newly delivered on a KEF-LBA-CGN-EMA-KEF route – now the LBA leg routes via EMA. Summer 2000 it was with a Star Airlines OY- registered B727 then 2001 with the Bluebird I think…

Titan and Channel Express operate QC (quick change) variants of 737-300’s, and at night time they are usually used for cargo.
The freights will become more common in the UK due to the Royal Mail contract re-jig. Incidently one of the B733QCs of Islandsflug had to come back to LPL this morning due fog at BFS (TF-ELM). This aircraft flies a daily BFS-LPL-BFS-EMA-BFS flights. G-CELP and G-CELR are 2 other aircraft that were on the Iclenadic register as TF-ELP/R due to the CAA not having approved the large freight door mod that was being put on them. Channex have a couple more at Tel Aviv atm being converted.
Jenski – TNT operate both BAe 146-200 and -300QC – OO-TAW and TAR were in LPL overnight – there are a few TNT 146 aircraft on the SPanish register too – EC-HJH was in at LPL a few weeks ago.

Back in the mid 80s I used to do load control on a nightly STN-BRU
Sabena operation using a 737-200 in pure freight configuration. It used to operate from LHR but was moved to STN due the noise and the STD of 0200z. The payload was usually a mixture of newspapers and general (non food) cargo. It nearly always operated at full capacity.

I do live in Liège, so, i AM under Bierset’s base approach 🙂
When it is not so cloudy as today, I can see them from my roof window.

No they don’t unless you live in the environment around Bierset.
By: frankvw - 14th January 2004 at 20:38
Yes, and they fly over my head every night 😀

Most TNT 737-300 Freighters are registered in Belgium, they also have BAE 146-200 (or is it -300) quiet traders

India’s Blue Dart also uses a B732 F.

To add a few to the list.
Bluebird Cargo Airlines Operates three B737-300F and Íslandsflug operates two 737-300QC and one 737-300F
The Channex 733QC’s are ex-Lufthansa and I guess they have more of them.

Indeed, these are -300 series.
