The aircraft at Oldham College is a former Ryanair aircraft:
formerly: EI-CKR
Constructors number: 22025, line no. 647
first flight: 04.03.80
built as: Boeing 737-2K2
operators: PH-TVR Transavia del 25.03.80, lsd to Britannia 81/82, (D-AJAA) Jetair- ntu, C-FICP Canadian Pacific/Canadian Airlines lsd winter 86/87, PH-TVR Transavia 4/87-3/93 with short leases out; EI-CKR Ryanair acq 5/95
last flight: was into Prestwick on 13.11.03. Regn canx as pwfu 10.04
fate: broken-up at Prestwick, fuselage to Oldham College, certainly by 2/06.
This from my own records of Ryanair's Boeing 737-200 series disposals. Have now cross-checked with W&R 25 which confirms EI-CKR as final former identity.
At one stage there was much confusion created by erroneous reports as to where some of the Ryanair fuselages from Prestwick ended up. It was EI-CKQ that actually went to Bournemouth 12.04, while EI-CKR went to Oldham (but never Bournemouth). A detail W&R 25 seems to agree on.

GC That is correct, The fusalages of EI-CKR & EI-CKQ were moved form Prestwick by road and there is photographic evidance of both being at Bourmnemouth at the same time. EI-CKR was subsquently moved to Oldham. The Cockpit was removed form EI-CKQ as I recall but dont know where it went on to |
