Lovely line-up of propliners. Behind are Convairs from Aero B Venezuela and LAGE. The Air-Sea Convair served with them as HB-IMU, having been sold to Altas Corp in Sep 1980 and stored at Miami, still in Air-Sea colours. Sold to Mexico in May 1981 and seen still in service in the late 1990s with AeroCedros at Ensenada as XA-RYV. Wfu and scrapped in the early 2000s.

Now that is one sharp looking Convair. Sold by Sierra Pacific to Laredo Air in 1.91 but remained stored and broken up a few years later. Began life as a United CV-340 in 1952, to Frontier in 1963 and converted two years later

Most of the helicopters in this hangar are too tight for a proper photo but fortunately this beautifully presented Whirlwind is well positioned at the end of the row. Four of these Westland-built machines were flown alongside about 20 Sikorsky H-19s with the Air Force and Navy

The real C.8-15 was passed to the Turkish AF after Spanish service. Looking quite convincing, this one is really WGAF 26+23 (built by SABCA) and is marked as such on the other side

First flown by Trans International as N8962T when new in 11.67 and later by Universal, Seaboard, Loftleidir, Flying Tigers and Transamerica before a period of lease took her back to TIA. Seen here on a misty afternoon departing from Heathrow's cargo area, she passed to UPS in 5.85 becoming N700UP on conversion to Srs 71CF; now stored at Roswell, NM

Only the deflated right tyre belies the fact that this nice old Avro had already been stored for about four years at the time of this shot. Delivered new to Nepal in 3.70 and still stored at last report. Sister-ship 9N-AAU was also seen, on the dump in original Royal Nepal colours

Hard to imagine this DC-6 in its glory days with Tasman Empire Airways and Pacific Western Airlines amongst others. Now carrying "Vusumzi - I Am, We Are" titles, Vusumzi apparently means "one who restores and builds the family". It has 'A Step Ahead' and 'Odysseus' titles on the other side under the fire practice scorch marks. The (ex) Westwind in front is (was) N89XL

Hard to imagine this DC-6 in its glory days with Tasman Empire Airways and Pacific Western Airlines amongst others. Now carrying "Vusumzi - I Am, We Are" titles, Vusumzi apparently means "one who restores and builds the family". It has 'A Step Ahead' and 'Odysseus' titles on the other side under the fire practice scorch marks. The (ex) Westwind in front is (was) N89XL

Such a shame that Bluebird don't include titles with this otherwise fine livery. The Dash 8s of the same company behind have adopted a Qantas-based scheme after some of them were obtained from the Australians

There was an Air Malawi B733 wfu at the Safair hangar but it was good to see the old 200 series still going strong. Acquired from LAM (C9-BAI) in 10.09 and first operated by Midway then Aravco and Nacional (Brazil). Became ZS-SVT of Star Air Cargo in 2.12

Magnificent machine pulling off Brize's runway 26 - not too many DC-8s were allowed in the UK by this time but this one was a good airframe by all accounts. Started life as Alitalia's I-DIWW and later N802MG with MGM Grand Air. Stored at Manston and sadly never made it out before the airport closed, then being broken up
