03/31/2008. Remarks by Bart van der Plas: "This was the second DC-9 for KLM, first flown December 16, 1965, registered in the Netherlands on February 28, 1966, and delivered to KLM on April 3, 1966. The name of the Belgian capital city was carried on the port-side nose in Dutch (Brussel) with the city logo beneath it, while on the starboard-side nose only the name was shown in English. The aircraft served with KLM for nearly seventeen years, apart from a brief lease to Cyprus Airways, from November 23 to 30, 1975.

The aircraft was delivered to British Midland Airways (BMA) on December 24, 1982. On February 1, 1983, the aircraft was stricken from the Dutch register and the same day registered in the UK as G-BMAG; it was named "Nassak Diamond". It was withdrawn from use by BMA on March 22, 1995, and from April 1, it was leased to Intercontinental of Columbia.

It was deregistered on April 28, 1005 and sold to TEASA of Mexico, it was registered XA-XST on May 5, 1995. It was withdrawn from use by TEASA on November 24, 1999, at Toluca, Mexico, became a derelict, and was scrapped in 2002/2003."

05/15/2006. Remarks by Alfred Damen: "The photo shows the aircraft being towed to the gate at the recently opened Schiphol Airport 'Central' terminal, 2.5 miles to the north-west of the 'old' facilities."
