Arrived at Upper Heyford on 9 May 1979 along with 55-0107 and 56-0659 and left on 23 May 1979. From the 96th BW at Dyess AFB, TX and participating in Exercises Flintlock and Dawn Patrol. While serving in Vietnam with the 43rd BW, this one was adorned with a huge sharkmouth and was involved in the 'Linebacker II' campaign of 1972. It is a survivor, now nicely preserved with the Yankee Air Museum at Willow Run near Detroit in the polyurethane finish first introduced in 1970 for better weather resilience in South East Asia

The fourth F-27 built, delivered to Aer Lingus on 19.11.58 as EI-AKB, also served Philippine A/l, Alia, Spantax, Aviaco and WDL before becoming the first large aircraft with Manx in 9.82. Went on to Loganair in 9.83 and back to WDL in 1986. Wfu and used for fire practice at Västerås 4.96. I reckon it looked gorgeous in the Manx colours, like it must have done way back in the old Aer Lingus scheme

Seen here arriving from Accra in a revision of her original colours, this VC-10 was the first of two accepted by Ghana on 27.1.65. Free demonstration flights were given to locals, many of whom had never been on a plane before. The VC-10 had a profound effect on the nation's culture and even had a type of dress named after it. Wfu and ferried from Heathrow to Prestwick in 12.80. After storage, broken up in 1983

This was one pleasing result of a stopover in Panama on my first trip to Colombia. A smart-looking machine which started off with Eastern as N5506 in 11.58 and was bought by COPA in 10.71. Seen here in their second Electra livery, she went into storage at Mojave in 7.86 and was later broken up there

Rather more modern than the last aircraft from the Hellenic AF transport squadron, 354 Mira, that I last uploaded (a Noratlas). This unusual visitor arrived in appalling weather a day earlier - fortunate it night-stopped

The pair of Yugoslav An-12s were regular Heathrow visitors in the mid-Eighties on the weekly JAT freight run, later contracted out to, amongst others, Air Bridge using Electras. Note the Yugoslav AF serial also carried; this aircraft was manufactured in 1971 but tragically crashed into a road bridge on finals to Yerevan on 12.12.88 with 8,388 hrs and 4,727 cycles recorded, ironically in view of the aircraft's registration carrying aid for the victims of the earthquake

I recently had the pleasure of photographing this much-loved machine in its current Euro Atlantic colours, but there are literally hundreds of images of her in those colours on the net, so here's something different. Bought by Tajikistan International 6.7.95, but repossessed by TAP only a month later
