Taken around 7pm from area 'J'

On delivery to the Mexican Navy. Ex Israeli aircraft. Thought I had missed it at first, after seeing it take off as I arrived at Prestwick. I was lucky when it went tech with a left engine problem, as it returned 10 minutes later.

These two Mexican Casa 212's night stopped at Glasgow enroute to Seville Spain and this was them parked at the GAT on the following morning at 7-45am.

The first of two Casa 212's to depart Glasgow enroute to Seville Spain with next stop Nantes.

Mexican Navy Hawkeye departs Prestwick for the second time this day after having to return to the Airport with a technical problem.

The second of two Mexican Navy Casa 212's heading to Seville Spain for modifications.

These two Casa's arrived about 30 minutes earlier and were being fuelled and prepared for night stopping while ferrying to Seville Spain.

Rarely seen in these marks, this Fairchild is sometimes confused with TP-0205 / XC-UTD (c/n 90) of the FAM also photographed on this trip. Msn 25 began life way back in 12.58 as YV-C-EVP with Avensa. Ozark flew her in the mid-60s as N4305F and after a series of financial/corporate ownerships she landed up with the Armada de Mexico from 7.76. Thought to have been w/o at MEX 4.88

The Mexican mil biz I'd really like to catch is the Air Force JetStar but no chance of that... this was one of three Gulfies in a line for a G20 conference

Having for many years believed that this C-47 was MT-201 (for which the c/n is unknown), it is now clear from a photo in the 2021 book "DC-3/C-47 in Latin American Military Service" that it is actually MT-202 which has a known identity. It was broken up eight months later.

Delivered to the Mexican AF as TP-217 in 4.80, this Buffalo also served with the Mexican Navy, based at La Paz, Baja California Sur, latterly in a light and dark grey camouflage scheme, re-allocated AMT-237 and stored

Originally thought to have been ex RCAF 9307 and to Mexico 8.3.74 (one of four CSR-110s supplied by Canada), but some doubt has now been cast on this aircraft's identity. Canadian Albatrosses had more powerful Wright R-1820-82 engines with an air scoop on top of the nacelle; this aircraft may in fact be one from two later batches of ex USN HU-16s, eight ex-DM in 1976 and four in 1978. Re-serialling later occurred and like many Mexican i/d's, this one is very difficult to verify

Plush Mexian Navy plane arriving from Santander in Spain. The same aircraft was previously ANX-207 and ANX-1207.
