Displayed at the 1974 Mildenhall open day wearing Strategic Air Command blue fuselage band.

Built for USAAC as A-24B Banshee 42-54582. Civilianised post-war as N4488N and N17421. Retired in 1975 to MCAS Quantico Museum and displayed as an SBD-5. In 2004 restored to its correct A-24B guise and displayed at the USAF Museum Dayton OH as '115786'.

PA474 is seen at the airfield where many Lancasters were built, Woodford, Cheshire. It was always one of the first aircraft to arrive for the annual airshow and in those days there were still a few people working in the factory who had been involved in their construction who were pleased to give advice on problems. The livery has changed over the years and the mid upper turret was missing at that time. One was located at a Woodford Airshow as a result of a joking request during the display !

Inches from touchdown on Stansted's 23, a rare shot of 'ML with TMAC's short-lived red/black cheatline. Originally N1002T with Flying Tiger Line (1.65) and bought by TMAC 12.71; N121AE with AEI 10.80 and scrapped at Greensboro, NC in 9.99 after various sales and storage

Registered by BN in 10.73 and accepted by Loganair just 3 months before this shot with Dundee's fine architecture in the background. I've been able to follow this Trislander's career after sale to Colombia in 2.80 - see further upload

New off the line to ONA as "Holidayliner Freedom" a year before this photo, this DC-10 was short-lived as she was destroyed by fire after striking a flock of seagulls and overrunning runway 13R at JFK on 12 November 1975 while positioning to Jeddah with 139 ONA employees on board (all escaped safely).

Built as standard P-3A but later converted for operation by Weather Reconnaissance Squadron Four.

Formerly JY-ACT of Alia, this fine looking machine was acquired by SATA in 3.73 but crashed into the sea five miles short of the runway at Funchal, Madeira on 18.12.77 after the crew failed to set the altimeter to the correct QNH. In October 2011 the wreckage of the Caravelle was found by two Portuguese divers at a depth of 110m, having broken into two sections
