This is the penultimate Dash 7 built, delivered to London City Airways in 6.88 and sold by BMA to Berjaya Air as 9M-TAL in 11.95 - I got to shoot it again at Subang, KL in June 2002 a couple of days before the airport closed for scheduled traffic. Looks sharp here in the BMA colours of the time

Baby Nines always did look good on camera, especially in nice conditions as at the LGA perimeter access gate on this day. New with TWA in 8.67 and to Midway in 1981, landing up with Aviacsa as XA-TJS in 2.98. Wfu at MEX 2003 and later scrapped

I well remember looking at the patched-up bullet holes in TMA 707s during their frequent stopovers at LHR cargo in the 'Eighties. This 707 suffered much the same fate as MEA's 720 OD-AFL just uploaded. Like that 720, TMA's OD-AGN was acquired from American and also perished under Israeli shelling at Beirut, in this case on 16th June, 1982

First serving Pan Am from 4.64 as N793PA, this frame was bought by the fledgling Scimitar Airlines in 3.79, lasting until take-over by Tradewinds in 1.84. After re-registration as G-TRAD, she found he way to TAMPA Colombia as HK-3232X in 1986 then Air Nacoia in Angola as D2-FAV ten years later. Noted stored at Luanda, 7.06 and scrapped by 2012

Manila was the last haven for many of the world's surviving YS-11s and it was great to catch this superbly painted and rarely seen example departing on a package flight. The aircraft has Korean Air Lines, Philippine Airlines, TOA Domestic, JAS, Air Aruba and Asian Spirit among its previous operators but unfortunately veered off the runway on landing at MNL on 16.11.06 and is no longer in service

Registration 5B-CFG was allocated but NTU; stored at Nairobi, Kenya in 1996. Purchased by 20th Century Fox, moved overland to Namibia and used in ground sequences of the 2004 re-make of the great 1965 film "Flight of the Phoenix"

Fred Olsen's Commandos were a regular part of the Southend scene in the Sixties but I was lucky to capture this one on what was probably my first ever roll of Kodachrome. This 1944-vintage example was bought by the Norwegian line as far back as 11.57; sold as XW-PHM in 6.71 and resident in SE Asia till broken up at Seletar in 1979 as N336CA

Delivered to BEA on 4.7.68 and wfu at LHR in 4.85, Fox Golf went on to be one of only two Tridents to wear the BA Landor scheme (both after withdrawal). Here looking superb in her newly-applied paintwork while in use as a ground ops trainer, she went on to become the BAA's fire practice frame in 1990, parked out by 09L at what became known as 'Trident Turn'. After 10 years, dismantled, forward fuselage used for various films and adopted by the Manchester Airport Fire Service with whom it remains
