Default DC-9 and H.S. Trident

I just flew on Northwest, a DC-9-50 connecting with a DC-9-30. And this idea came to me: what would the European equivalent be? A DH Trident 3B connecting to a Trident 2E! Anyone care to illustrate such a fleet of Trident's at a Euro hub in present day colours?
China would work as well, imagine China Southern or China Eastern operating a fleet of used Tridents in new cs. And even Africa or the Mideast......

Always felt it was more...

727 - DH121
DC9 - BAC 1-11

Electra - Vanguard....

Pity there wasnt a US version of the VC10....

Ok, I thought more in terms of capacity and size but if you want to expand:

727-200 connecting to a 727-100
Bac 1-11-500 connecting to a -200
Caravelle 12 connecting to Caravelle IV
Tupolev 154 connecting to a 134, nahhhh

Where in the world can you still do that? But here in the good ol' USA you can still fly DC-9-30/40/50's on Mainline services.
FYI just came back on the same routing with two CRJ-200's- Made the DC-9-50 look like a spaceship!
