MK old and new colours together. 9G-MKE was originally SE-DBD with SAS and reached MK in 3.95 after periods with ONA, Icelandair, Kabo and Overnight Cargo. Became 9T-TDA in 2005 then 9Q-CAQ operated by Hewa Bora for the Congo AF. Behind is 9G-MKC, my fabulous transport in via KGL and back home to MSE with a load of fresh veg, sadly broken up at Filton 26/27.2.08

The Air Kenya fleet is kept busy out of its Wilson base, typically shuttling tourists out to their safari destinations. Ideally suited to these operations, this Twin Otter was acquired back in 1989 but was originally delivered to Air Alpes in 1978

Originally delivered to Aravco in 1976, the previous operator of this F27, MNG, is clear to see. Fly540 had a diverse fleet which includes ATR, CRJ, DH8, B1900 and C208, all registered in Kenya rather than Uganda like the F27

Operating with Bluebird, clearly showing their Qantas-style livery which was modified when the aircraft was obtained from Eastern Australia (along with four others) in Sep 2008. The same scheme was carried across to other Dash 8s in the fleet even though they were not from Qantas companies, including three ex-SAS Q400s

This An-26 was given to Somalia by Libya in 1990 and has been stored at NBO since 1993. Although the c/n is unknown, it was previously 8204 with the Libyan Air Force, hence the derived Somali registration (which may be properly prefixed MM). Probably still there today

Originally Lufthansa's D-ABUD from 11.65 then with Air Zimbabwe (VP-/Z-WKV from 6.82 to 1991) and joined African Int'l 7.93. Stored in this position near the Kenya Airways hangar at NBO until b/u by 2008. Note the Boeing 720 fuselage in KQ colours (5Y-BBX) behind which was used as a cabin trainer at the time, and the old Embakasi Airport buildings beyond that
