After a considerable time in the holding pattern DC-2 'Uiver' entered the arena during the last Coventry Classic Air Show. The original crashed in adverse weather in Iraq on its second journey to Batavia, in December 1934. NC39165 redid the London-Melbourne-London journey during 1983-1984. In 1999, the Aviodrome museum acquired NC39165 from its owner in the U.S. and brought her to Europe once again. After several years of flying she was put on display indoors at Lelystad airport, although still airworthy.

Vintage plane, modern task.

"Every airshow should have its drop of rain. Since none was expected Atlantic Airlines decided to provide some." Nothing to add to the commentator's statement!

141262 is this amphibian's original BuNo. Now called an HU-16C, N7025N actually started flying as a UF-1 under an earlier designation system.

Wheels spinning and her crew straining to see over the nose to keep aligned with the runway, the Memphis Belle is just two feet in the air. Her other side was still painted as Sally B.

Painted as the famous 'Uiver' the unique flying DC-2 is seen in a modest turn during a rather spectacular flying display over Coventry airport.

Airworthy MS-733 Alcyon advanced trainer restored to its Aeronavale colour scheme.

Not every day one gets to see a DC-6 fly! And certainly not one fitted with oil dispersant spray bars below the rear fuselage, doing a spraying demonstration.

Working hard during the two day show hauling passengers on pleasure flights. It carries the markings of the Empire test Pilots School.

Still grounded after engine fire last year...but looking pretty!
