Got a highly memorable ride on this from SEN to RTM - the Captain wanted to give the F/O some practice so he made him take off with his windscreen completely obscured by a clipboard. I recall the church at the end of Southend's 5250ft runway 24 looming up ahead and thinking this was starting to look very scary! Originally United's 'Cargoliner Chicago' (N37592) in 1956 and then to Fred Olsen as LN-FOL ten years after. Nose now preserved in Iceland

First to Air Virginia in 1982 and then to SATA in 1987; ntu by Transair Cambodia (didn't get beyond this B-Class BAe registration) and to Canada in 1995 after storage with Calm Air. The Okada 1-11 behind was originally Channel Airways' G-AWKJ which I shot there 22 years earlier!

This 1-11 started life as G-AXLN with BMA in 1970 and like many of its kind spent its twilight years in Nigeria. Although looking extremely smart here it was been scrapped at Lagos as part of the cull of older jets a few years ago

Part of this Lockheed demonstrator's world tour was a promotional flight for Court Line at Manchester prior to delivery to Eastern (23.11.72). She became N782DL with Delta in 1.92, was retired to Mojave in 11.96 and scrapped in 9.02. This is probably my most valuable TriStar slide and I was lucky to be there at the time

Believe it or not this airframe was first earmarked for TWA, but became part of Alitalia's order instead, joining them on 15.4.64. Stored from Dec 1975 and broken up

One of my favourite Convair shots recalling the days when Aspen ran a smart fleet of multi-coloured 580's (plus for me a nice flight to Colorado Springs on one). Also visible behind is one of their new 146's. This 580, acquired from Allegheny in 10.78 went to Kelowna as C-GKFU in 1.92 then Air Freight NZ as ZK-KFU in 4.95 but sadly crashed at sea off New Zealand on 3.10.03
