Seen here after return from a year's lease to Nepal, this 748 was more familiar as BA's G-BCOE. Became VH-IMI with Impulse Airlines in 10.94, ZS-DBM with Cape Aero Svs in 3.05 and 9G-MKV in 5.09, still in basic BA Landor-style colours. To 5Y-HVS, reverted to ZS-DBM then 5Y-PFA with Planes For Africa in 6.14, operating around Mogadishu in early 2016

Seen here after return from a year's lease to Nepal, this 748 was more familiar as BA's G-BCOE. Became VH-IMI with Impulse Airlines in 10.94, ZS-DBM with Cape Aero Svs in 3.05 and 9G-MKV in 5.09, still in basic BA Landor-style colours. To 5Y-HVS, reverted to ZS-DBM then 5Y-PFA with Planes For Africa in 6.14, operating around Mogadishu in early 2016

The Air Kenya fleet is kept busy out of its Wilson base, typically shuttling tourists out to their safari destinations. Ideally suited to these operations, this Twin Otter was acquired back in 1989 but was originally delivered to Air Alpes in 1978

Used as the jumping-off point for Everest treks, at 9380ft, Lukla airport is the third-highest in the world. The parking apron has room for only four aircraft but turn-around times are no more than 10 minutes. The weather always closes in during the afternoon so flight operations cease at about 1400. In the background can be seen our overnight accommodation, the Buddha Lodge
