On This Day 8th June 1992.
G-6-209, British Aerospace 146-300, painted in yellow primer to protect it from the elements during test flights before receiving it's final paint job, at Manchester Woodford, 8th June 1992.
The "B"-class registration carried here (Country code - manufacturer - last 3 of the Construction Number) was a far more elegant solution for aircraft test registrations than that used by, say, Airbus or Boeing for their test flight regimes, frequently re-using a handful of registrations for multiple aircraft.
This went to Makung International as B-1778 in May 1994, later serving with UNI Air, National jet Italia, British Airways, FlyBe, and Efly, before being broken up in 2014.
