This former USAAF C-45B (ex 43-35492) was lend-leased to the Royal Canadian Air Force in Dec 1943 as an Expeditor I, serialled HB122. On 3 Sep 1952 it was converted to an Expeditor 3T, and ten years later, on 19 Mar 1962, it was sold to the French Air Force, where it became N° 122, coded MT-10. There it last served with GAEL (Groupe Aérien d'Entraînement et de Liaison) and in this photo it still has their emblem on the nose. It was struck off charge on 18 May 1972 and stored at Châteaudun. In 1985 the Beech was acquired by AMPAA (Association des Mécaniciens Pilotes d'Aéronefs Anciens) and preserved at Étampes. In the mid 1990s it moved to the Musée de l'Aviation in Warluis, as seen here.

Carrying Irish rugby fans for the Six Nations match against Scotland, "Shamrock 2254" is captured on final on a very blustery morning at EDI.

Caught taxying out to rw28 for departure. There wasn't much happening on the airliner side during my brief visits in/out of NUE but there were quite a few interesting biz-jets on the go.
