Emerging from a respray after acquisition from London City Airways, this Dash 7 returned to the UK in 2004 for repainting once again, this time in the overall red Air Greenland livery at Norwich. Operated with Air Tindi as C-GCPY from 2012, still in the basic red colours and suffered a major windscreen crack on departure from Yellowknife on 14.12.13, causing the whole screen to ice over. An almost blind but safe return landing was accomplished

Once Court Line's G-AXMI (del. March.70), this 1-11 is seen here in temporary colours having freshly arrived from Dan-Air with whom it served as G-BDAE from 3.75. After her BWA career which included several lease periods with Sabena, she ended her days marked with 'Fresh' titles for filming and then British Heart Foundation titles/logos for a charity promotion just before the final chop in April 2006

Southend attracted more than its fair share of exotic propliners seeking the attentions of ATEL and this C-54 was no exception. Of 1944 vintage, she went to KLM in 1945 and France's TAI in 1948. Bought by Air Afrique 1966 and sold to Air Comores after the Southend overhaul as F-OCSV. Lastly to SOACO as TR-LUT in 1975 and wfu two years later, then broken up

Converted by ATEL from DC-4 LX-BNG and first flying as a Carvair in 3.63, G-ASDC was first christened "Pont du Rhin" by BUAF and was renamed "Plain Jane" by BAF in 1972. Sold to Falcon Airways of Texas as N80FA in 4.79 (crashed 6.97 in AK)

Two old classics, both V-Jets! VRT's Vulcan waits silently for its next engine run while the magnificent 707 VH-XBA returns from one of its test flights, two days before finally heading down under (ok, this is the original 1959 c/s, it wasn't until the next scheme in 1961 that she really became a V-Jet). Oh yes, and the experimental predecessor of the Vulcan was the Avro 707...

Sadly this Belfast was broken up at Southend on 23/24.10.08 after plans to put it back in service alongside sister-ship RP-C8020 (ex G-HLFT) down-under fell through. Seen here with PANAF titles (company wanted to buy all 10 Belfasts but never got going) prior to civilianisation for TAC/Heavylift, G-BEPS was ferried MSE-SEN on 30.3.01 for storage. This was to be the former XR368's last flight

A nice line of classics, typical of Southend in the Seventies. SE-FTI didn't last long as such and went on to Merpati, EAS and back to Merpati again. Next is G-BAMX looking as though it is badly corroded - broken up a year later. Then ex-EPA Carvair CF-EPW and Aer Turas DC-4 EI-ARS with UN High Commissioner for Refugees titles

The last surviving Belfast, now with Heavylift Cargo Airlines Pty and stored all-white at Cairns, Australia as RP-C8020, ex 9L-LDQ. Last service with UK Heavylift flown for KLM 29.5.99; ferried SEN-PIK 13.11.02 for overhaul and repaint before export. Alongside is G-BEPS which was to have joined RP-C8020 in service down-under but was scrapped in 10.08
