One of nine of this Chinese workhorse delivered to Sri Lanka in 1986, of which two were lost in 1997 during their service with 8 Sqn, which has also made them available to Helitours. Four more were on order. Soon after this, re-serialling in the SCL-32** range was carried out

As if unsure about whether to go ahead with the new Herald colour scheme, BAF very briefly operated 'ZG in this strange half-and-half combination. Crashed in Zaire on 11.9.84 as 9Q-CAH (registration then re-used on Viscount G-ARIR)

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

Classic lines of an original Mirage in camouflage colours inherited from France. The reconnaisance version of Dassault's delta was introduced by the SAAF in 1967. C/n something of a mystery but given by one source as 4F-4A
