This, the 10th Carvair conversion, was delivered to BUAF in 8.63 but immediately went to work with Alisud in Italy for six months. Changing name from "Channel Bridge" to "Big Joe" when BUAF became BAF in 1967, she was bought by TAR in 3.69 but leased back in 4.72, reverting to G-ASKG with BAF in 3.73. To Congo 2.75; broken up as 9Q-CTI at Kinshasa in 1995

The majority of Yankee Romeo's lease for a year to BCal was spent in this Commuter c/s, replacing the first scheme shown in my previous shot. Gatwick's North Terminal can be seen under construction in the background

Just a month after acquisition from BA, this Viscount was contracted out to Oasis Oil (note Libyan flag on rear fuselage). The basic scheme is the very early version used by BAF complete with the yellow cockpit coaming which didn't last long at all. Last used in the UK as G-OPFI by Parcelforce, she was exported to Africa in 8.99 as 3D-PFI, changing hands under the marks 5V-TTP, TU-VAB, back to 3D-PFI and ending up as 9Q-COD in 7.07. Stored at Lubumbashi, Congo, in potentially flyable condition but sadly scrapped 2011
