An interesting day, albeit with atrocious weather, at Gatwick with several extra flights for a W. Germany-England football match (Germany won) including Aviaction F28s and Modern Air CV990s. This Bavaria 1-11, wearing a registration later re-used on a DC-9, was originally intended for Channel Airways in 1968 but joined the German airline in 4.69. Sold as DQ-FCR in 2.78 and scrapped in 1981

Overview of the short-lived Historic Air Museum just after takeoff on SEN's r/w 24 in an Auster. The Beverley XB261 was, sadly, broken up in 4.89 well after the HAM went under, but the Lincoln (G-APRJ/RF342) survives in a dismantled state, partly in Australia. Also visible are Mitchell N9089Z (painted as 'HD368', now dismantled at Booker), Harvard LN-BNM (now in the RAF Museum at Hendon in its original RAF colours as FE905) and Drover G-APXX (now also stored at Booker)

TMAC acquired Flying Tiger's N455T as G-ATZI in April 1970 and leased her to BAF in May 1972. Little known in these colours, she was bought by Transvalair as HB-IEN in March 1974 and operated in their smart green/red livery till sold to UAA as 5A-DHJ in Feb 1981. Then to N3951C, N103BB, EL-WLL, TN-AFP and finally 9Q-CTS, crashing at Mbuji Mayi, Congo on 17.2.02

Modern Air Transport had a base at Berlin Tegel and three of their eight Coronados were at LGW for a West Germany-England soccer match that wet day. The 1973 oil crisis was a blow for these thirsty jets, not helped by rules to fly at a fuel-inefficient height of 10,000ft in the Allied air corridors over East Germany. Modern hoped to switch to DC-8s and DC-9s but ceased flying in 1975. N5624 went to Nomads as N990E, then Galaxy. Wfu at FLL in 12.85, to Christ is the Answer in 1990 - obviously not as scrapped 4.91

The sad demise of a Comet, being broken up after Channel Airways went out of business and Dan-Air bought her for spares. Delivered to BEA 18.3.61, leased to Olympic immediately and registered SX-DAO 4.66. Returned to BEA and sold to Channel 4.70, retaining the basic Olympic livery

Seen here on a very wet day, this former BOAC 707 was written off at Prestwick on 17.3.77 during crew training. Loss of control resulted from a delay in corrective action during a simulated no.1 engine failure on take-off
