The British Aerospace 146 was produced from 1983 until 2002. This typical type you can recognize by its four jet engines. In The Netherlands, we gave it the nickname “Willy Wortel”, because of the four engines on such a small aircraft. Nowadays a few airliners fly with this aircraft in Europe. A total of 387 aircraft were produced. Also, a number of aircraft are converted to a freighter.
