In the early 1970s, Peru was visited twice by Fokker F-28s conducting demonstration tours. The first visit was in May 1970 with PH-MOL (cn. 11003), and the second in May 1972 with PH-ZAV (cn. 11032).
On May 25, 1972, the Fokker F-28 Fellowship was shown to Faucett and SATCO.
What would Faucett's livery have looked like on an F-28?

Toumaï Air Tchad was the flag carrier airline of Chad, established in 2004 and based at N'Djamena International Airport, offering domestic and international flights across Africa. The company was created to revitalize national transportation. Initially, it operated with leased aircraft.
In early January 2006, it added its first Fokker F-28, TT-EAS - msn. 11204 -. This was a Mk.4000 version, which was followed, the next month, by a second leased unit from Air Leasing Cameroon (TJ-ALD msn. 11173). The African company stated that it opted for the Fellowship mainly because of its low operating cost and its ability to operate at airports with shorter runways.
Unfortunately, the airline's trajectory faced security issues, leading to the suspension of international flights in July 2012. Although there were attempts to revive it and renew its fleet as Tchadia Airlines with certifications in later years, regular operations were not resumed consistently. The last operational report for its only Fellowship dates back to 2018. When on July 23, 2018, he took a flight from Abéché to N'Djamena operated by Air Cameroon for the United Nations Humanitarian Service (UNHAS).
