Inspired by reading Martinair's early history in Propliner, I decided to squeeze what quality I could out of this slide, one of my first ever (and unfortunately not Kodachrome). A familiar sight at Southend after conversion from Cv-340 in 4.66, it's good to see she was still alive and well, stored by C&M Airways at El Paso as N640CM in the late 2000s

In close company with G-BAMX (PK-MVW), this was one of eight Vanguards leased or bought by Merpati in the Seventies, four ex-Air Canada and four ex-BEA. Originally CF-TKU to TCA in 11.62, became G-AZNG with Air Holdings in 2.72 and leased to Air Trader (SE-FTI) for the latter half of the year. To PK-MVC 8.73 but officially back to G-AZNG 4.74, then F-BVUY for EAS in 11.74. Bought back by Merpati in 3.81, this time as PK-MVA and stored at JKT from 11.85 (see my 1983 shot), being scrapped by 1994

Philips operated a range of corporate aircraft over the years but this early GII was only with them from Feb 1970 to Dec 1971 when sold to Canada, then going on to the USA and eventually the Panama Govt with whom it flew as HP-1A (reg previously used on a Falcon 20), having been converted to SP standard complete with winglets. Re-re HP-1691 and for sale at Fort Pierce, FL in 2014.

One of three Superfreighters bought from BAF a year earlier, although only this one and G-APAV entered service. Midland Air Cargo hoped to acquire the Transair Argosy fleet from Canada but this never materialised and the company ceased flying in early 1973
