Yankee Mike, delivered to BEA in 3.58, was the first Viscount to be graced with the superb Manx Airlines colours when leased from BAF between 2.85 and 10.85. Seen here on a fine morning just after pushback from the 'N' stands for her flight to Ronaldsway, the aircraft went to Lineas Aereas Canarias as EC-DYC following the Manx lease. Stored at Los Rodeos airport, Tenerife and moved to a park to be used as a restaurant but scrapped in 1999, although the nose was saved

This was one of the last civilian 707 airframes to be built and was delivered to Saudia as HZ-ACK in 6.77, being recruited by the government as HZ-HM3 two years later. Later repainted in the current Saudia colours and converted to tanker demonstrator in 2005 by Omega (N707MQ). Headed the historic line up of the Boeing Commercial Family, 707 through 777, for the 787 launch at Paine Field on 07th July 07

I can remember seeing this machine as N525EJ regularly cruising up Red One in the late Sixties in its distinctive red Executive Jet Aviation c/s. Here on a diversion to Heathrow looking immaculate while taxiing out along the southside, she was flown by BCal for 15 years from 6.70 and converted to EC-137D for the USAF using its c/n as serial (with year of construction 67 as FY prefix), entering service in 1992. Into storage at DM in 6.02 and still there

I can remember seeing this machine as N525EJ regularly cruising up Red One in the late Sixties in its distinctive red Executive Jet Aviation c/s. Here on a diversion to Heathrow looking immaculate while taxiing out along the southside, she was flown by BCal for 15 years from 6.70 and converted to EC-137D for the USAF using its c/n as serial (with year of construction 67 as FY prefix), entering service in 1992. Into storage at DM in 6.02 and still there
