Entered service as Air Force One during the Nixon administration and was replaced by the VC-25A in 1990. This aircraft was kept as a backup aircraft for the president, and she finally made her last presidential flight on 29.08.01, with George W. Bush and Laura Bush on board. Stored at San Bernadino then moved by road to Simi Valley, CA for display at the Ronald Reagan Library

I was surprised how few BA VC-10 shots I had when I checked my records, so pleased with the way this one worked out... G-ASGB was delivered to BOAC in 4.65 and placed in store by BA at Prestwick not long after the date of this slide. To RAF as ZD231, ferried to Abingdon 4.81 and used for spares. Hulk removed as scrap 4.87

Must have been one of the last appearances of an Air France Caravelle in the UK. Broken up (aged 20) at Orly the year after this.

It was good to see the Sudan Comets still operating as late as this. Delivered to Sudan 12.62 and to Dan-Air as G-BDIF 8.75; b/u Lasham 10.80. I recollect seeing a Sudan Comet stored in a hangar at Teesside ca 1974 but not sure if it was this one or ST-AAW

Started life with Braniff in 1967 and to MSA 4.71. Singapore Airlines sold her in 5.81 and later users included Arrow Air (leased in basic SQ colours), Shanghai Airlines, Ladeco (Chile) and lastly Jaro (Romania), although her ultimate fate is unclear

Delivered to Pan Am in 1970 and seen here taxiing for a 27R departure with the non-standard wide cheatline, the registration of this particular jumbo reminds me of an early Pan Am advertising campaign which said "Our 747 is so different we're tempted to call it the 748!". Little did they realise what a laugh they were giving anyone in the know. Retired to Marana and scrapped in 1993

Getting away in style after a bulk-load freight run, the crew told me they'd recently taken the old girl as far as Montevideo! Stored at Varna 1997 onwards and broken up by 2000
