Ex British Airways Flying Club with the World Livery tail fin decor "Blue Poole" previously carried by the BA Fleet.

Martin Mars prototype at an unconfirmed location, possibly the Martin factory. It is seen here still in its original configuration as a patrol bomber, complete with gun turrets and provisions for bombing. However, the aircraft was soon to be converted to XPB2M-1R transport aircraft, which involved removing all armament and armored plating, and adding extra cargo hatches, cargo loading equipment and reinforcing the decking.

A9-93 in service with the Base Torpedo Unit. WFU 1945 and scrapped.

By 1981 this former Panagra DC-7 served as the "DC-7 Steak House" on the southwest corner of Georgia Highway 49 and Interstate 75 near Byron, GA, complete with outdoor terrace and swimming pool. It had its tail plane and the wings outboard the #2 and #3 engines missing, but was otherwise complete and in good condition. The aircraft carried no registration or titles, but still had "700" on the nosewheel doors. The facility stayed open for a few years only, and by 1988 it had fallen in disuse and the aircraft had become a derelict and was scrapped a short while later.

The Martin Mars prototype in take-off at an unknown location, possibly the Pacific off San Francisco. This photo was taken circa 1944, about two years after it had been converted from patrol bomber to transport aircraft, by the removal of its gun turrets, bomb bays, armored plating and other combat provisions. Instead, this transport version received additional cargo hatches and cargo loading equipment, as well as reinforced decking. Photo from public domain.

Still shown on the register as fitted with a radial but has clearly had its engine replaced with a TPE-331 turboprop.

Registered in July 2011

Last flight 1966, scrapped 1971.
