Flying with "Merel" or "Blackbird"... KLM's Boeing 737-8K2(WL) PH-BXN

A few years ago my sister moved to London, UK for her job. This meant I had another valid reason to travel to this amazing city, which I personally rank in my top 2 favourite cities... First time I went visiting her and her husband was Friday 30 September, 2011. I booked a flight with KLM (KL1009) which was flown with Boeing 737-8K2(WL) PH-BXN named "Merel/Blackbird".
