Here having just arrived for attention by AT(E)L, this Viscount was originally Austrian Airlines' OE-LAG, delivered in 2.60 as "Frans Schubert". Modified with the under-belly radome for radar development work by the RRE Pershore, she will perhaps be better remembered in the later RAE "Raspberry Ripple" colours...

Registered to the Aeroflot Latvian directorate in 4.72 and to Cuba 4.85; seen here after repaint in the revised livery. In 3.87 she was involved in an abortive hijacking when a passenger demanded to be taken to Miami. Sadly worse was to come on 11.7.97 when the Antonov was climbing through 500ft out of Santiago for Havana, rolled left and crashed into the sea with the loss of all 44 on board

A threatening sky provides an impressive backdrop to a 727 which has spent nearly all of its working life based in Colombia. Starting out as N2471 with Continental in 7.67, she joined Avianca in 10.71 (leased to SAM 10.81) and was sold in 1.94 to Lineas Aereas Suramericanas, flew as a freighter for many years but was for sale in 2013

I was asked by the son of a former Aerocondor pilot whether I had any slides of that colourful airline, so scanned this to oblige... unfortunately too close for the 55mm on my old Spotmatic, but nice nonetheless in the original scheme. Bought by the Colombian airline in 5.74 (making the reg appropriate) from AA with whom she served as N7542A after delivery in 2.61. Wfu at Barranquilla 4.79 and seen derelict there 1987; subsequently scrapped

It was very dark in this part of the museum - long exposure needed. The G-series Me-110 were night fighters; this one has FuG220b Liechtenstein SN-2 radar and was given Air Min serial AM34.

Almost a glider, with only one of her four Soloviev D-30 turbofans hanging on to the airframe, and exposed to the elements at that. Despite looking derelict here, this 1976-built former Russian AF bird flew south and was seen at JNB as D2-FDX in 6.01, still in full Uralintervia colours, but appeared to be wfu at Luanda by 2007.

On the occasion of the 1992 visit, presidential 757 TP-01 was supported by this nice 727. Although the serial TP-01 had previously been used on a 727, that was a different aircraft. This one started out with PSA as N970PS in 4.65 and joined Mexicana (XA-SER) in 9.69, going on to the Air Force in 9.81 later being serialled 3503; reported wfu at Santa Lucia AB 10.08

Had a great flight over the arid wastes of Kazakhstan on this An-24 as part of a journey from Novosibirsk to Almaty. We stopped at Karaganda and promptly changed planes to another of the three Tulpar An-24s (UN-47763, behind) to complete the trip — two for the price of one! This 1967 example was noted engineless here at Karaganda in 10.08; b/u 9.10
