Fairchild used the name Packet for the earlier C-119 variants but by 1952 were using Flying Boxcar in their publicity. To the Italians it was the 'vagone volante' apparently

Most of the 35 Turbo Firecats were converted by Conair from ex-RCN Trackers, but this one was originally USN S-2A (S2F-1) Bu 136712. Registered C-GYQY by Conair as a Firecat (previously used on a Bristol Freighter) and delivered to the French Protection Civile at Marseille as F-WEOL. Returned for conversion to Turbo in 1993. Named "Miss T11"

Undoubted star of RAF Northolt Charity Night-shoot XIV was this 48 year-old Sabreliner from Malmen AB, Linköping. Used as a testbed for electronics including ultra-wideband ground surveillance synthetic aperture radar, it usually carries long probes, removed for flights over FL22. Acquired in 1980 and only flown for around 20 hrs p/a, a rare appearance indeed outside Sweden, a 6-stop trip to Thailand being one of few other foreign flights. A sister-ship (86002) was retired in 2005, now a ground trainer

The A&AEE Britannia graces Northolt's apron on a fine summer's day. She started her working life just down the road with BOAC as G-AOVM in 6.58 and ended it as 9Q-CHY in Zaire where she arrived in 1984. Here she later took the honour of being the world's last operating Brit (apart from 9Q-CJH ex-RAF XM496 now preserved at Kemble, after being flown in during October 1997) till withdrawal in 1991 and eventual scrapping at Kinshasa

This privately-owned Strikemaster is one of 16 which were delivered to the R Singapore AF in 1970, serving till 1983. It first arrived back in the UK in 1994 as G-SARK and is seen here resplendent in its original livery featuring the first-generation RSAF roundel which is the same as that used by Turkey and Peru

Correspondence with the operators of this lovely old machine, now flying with DC-3 Vennerne from Vaerloese as OY-BPB, prompted me to dig out this scan from her career with Esk 721 which began in 1953

Now rather appropriately registered, this Bell 47 was originally G-AXKU with Bristow when new in 1969. Fancy a ride in one of those medevac baskets? Scary!

After service with 46 AB based at Pisa, this G-222 had an unusual fate. It was rebuilt as a fuselage trainer and shipped in 5.10 to Savannah GA, to be used at Warner Robins AFB for C-27J simulations
