Among the first of 18 Noratlas transports presented to Portugal by the West German AF in 1965, and ex GA+235. Another 12 (N.2502's) came from France, six ex-factory and six ex-civilian. Widely used in Portugal's African interests, they were declared surplus from 9.77; this one is not among the few that survived

Heading out on another hurricane hunting mission, the modifications to this 1957-vintage DC-6 are clearly apparent here. Acquired in 1960 from Trans Caribbean, she was sold to Bellomy-Lawson six months after this shot and modified back to normal configuration. Painted in Challenge AT colours in 1979 and re-registered N98BL in 1983. Broken up at MIA in 1993 after a couple of years in storage

Heading out on another hurricane hunting mission, the modifications to this 1957-vintage DC-6 are clearly apparent here. Acquired in 1960 from Trans Caribbean, she was sold to Bellomy-Lawson six months after this shot and modified back to normal configuration. Painted in Challenge AT colours in 1979 and re-registered N98BL in 1983. Broken up at MIA in 1993 after a couple of years in storage

The only time I've ever seen a Martin 2-0-2. This one was first delivered to Northwest Orient way back in 11.47 and arrived in Colombia in 1973 after service with Central American as N71R. Wfu by 1977 and eventually disposed of from the dump which was out in mid-field and also contained a couple of DC-4s, a C-46 and an A-26
