I've shot a pretty wide range of interesting subjects in that spot over the years, before or after attention in the hangar, but this must be one of the most unusual, rating as Southend's only ever Tupolev visitor. Originally Balkan's LZ-TUS in 9.78 and converted to corporate configuration around 1995; sometimes used as personal transport of the famous chess champion Gary Kasparov. To RusLine 8.06 and Kosmos 6.09; broken up at Nizhniy Novgorod in 3.16

From the Escadron de Chasse "Atlas" at Sidi Slimane, this is one of 27 remaining Moroccan Mirages undergoing major update work under the French Astrac programme, involving avionics, airframe, engine and weaponry upgrades. Commencing in 2010, two per month were due to be completed, bringing these 30-year old aircraft right up to date. This is in addition to the 24 Block 50/52 F-16C/Ds received after a June 2008 order

As Grummans go, rather more to my taste than the Gulfstreams also in the static... Although the Hawkeye has been around since 1964, this is a new-build example and was only about a year old

As Grummans go, rather more to my taste than the Gulfstreams also in the static... Although the Hawkeye has been around since 1964, this is a new-build example and was only about a year old

The second ex-Alitalia MD-11 freighter for this new company which at the time had just started operations after some delay. A short-lived venture, lasting only till 12.11 when the aircraft passed to Centurion Air Cargo, but went into store at Victorville in 3.12

Not the most obvious choice of aircraft to fly cargo, this IL-62 is familiar under the Libyan registration as a VIP aircraft from sightings in Moscow, but was repainted in LAC colours in 10.08. Originally CCCP-86553, she served after 2000 under various shady identities (EL-, 3C-, TL-) before taking up the current reg in 2004

Originally delivered as a CV-340 to National in 1953 and sold to Allegheny in 1960, she later underwent two conversions, first to CV-440 and then to turboprop in 1966. Bought by Commuter in 3.78; airline name changed to Freedom in 5.80 and sold to Air Ontario in 10.84 then EAT as OO-HUB in 3.88 for operation by DHL. Leased by Swiftair as EC-GSJ to continue DHL work; ferried to Columbus-Rickenbacker in 4.06 to become N590X but stored in 2010 still with Spanish reg.

A very fine sight indeed, this was the last J35J delivered to the Swedish AF, and is now the only remaining flying example of the incredible Draken, seen here resplendent in F10 marks. The small tail wheels touched the ground first!
