This was the last FH-227 built, rolled out in 12.68 by Fairchild Hiller as N2783R and sold to Mexico (Unidad de Transporte Aereo del Poder Ejecutivo Federal) in 12.72. To Mexican Navy as MT(T)-216 12.93 and stored from 1995. Some records incorrectly attribute TP-204/XC-DOU to Fairchild F27 c/n 90

Previously unknown and very rare, this was a highlight even by Havana standards. Seen as CCCP-47333 on delivery to the Cuban AF in 4.79 and later CU-T1230 with Cubana and CU-T111 with Aerocaribbean, to whom she returned after the first Venezuelan venture in 1996. Re-reg CU-T1501 by 1.01; seen SDQ as YV-1110C 4.03 and then to Solar Cargo as YV1402. Identity crisis?!

At her home base on the Kentish coast, this was one of a trio of the Friendship derivative briefly operated by Skyways before they went out of business later that year. New with the evocative Mohawk Airlines as N7817M in 4.67 and sold by Allegheny to Wien in 5.74. After gaining the cargo door she came to England in 8.78, passing on to TABA following Skyways' demise as PT-LBG. Very derelict at Belém by 2004

This aircraft followed a similar route to N376NE which I just uploaded in Delta colours - Northeast 10.66, merged with DL, Air N/E bought 11.74, to Britt 7.82 and Aerocaribe 1.91 as XA-RSV. Dbr when the gear collapsed on landing at Acapulco 13.3.92 and ferried to Mérida for breaking after temporary fix

Pulling up from LGA's r/w 04 with the smog of New York hanging in the background, this 727 served Northwest from 11.64 to 5.77 when sold to PSA as N973PS. Leased to Mexicana as XA-MEN for two years from 9.80 and back to Northwest after return, reverting to original reg in 1.84. Donated to Wentworth Inst Tech 9.92 and grounded at Hanscom Field, MA as a training aid

Initially intended for Northwest Orient, this DC-8 in fact went to Trans Caribbean as N8780R in 11.61 and then to Eastern in 1.64. Interswede took her for three months (as SE-DCR) in 11.71; she returned to that part of the world with Karair in 6.72. On lease to Cyprus Airways at the time of this shot (pure co-incidence that the last thing I uploaded before this was a Cyprus DC-8), she was wfu at Brussels in 2.85 and scrapped three months later

Spare fuselage for your Heron, sir? The RMAF one was delivered to them in 6.63 as FM-1054 and bought by Prinair in 9.81, being allocated N588PR but only used for spares. The other five in Prinair's multi-colour liveries had at least seen service with them but not surprisingly all were scrapped

Snowy photo opportunities like this are rare at Heathrow. Near the end of her 16-year career at the time of this 10R departure (runway 09R after 2.7.87), 'ZR was wfu there seven months later and ended up as one of the fire-practice trainers at Teesside. Substantially burnt out by 2004

A famous Vulcan indeed - used solely as a test bed for the Blue Steel missile project, then the Concorde Olympus 593 and later RB199 engine development with a mock-up MRCA (Tornado) fuselage under-slung including a trial cannon installation. F/f 10.05.57. An RR crew flew 903 into Farnborough from Filton on 27.2.79. Dismantling began in 1980 and finally b/u soon after this shot. Nose/cockpit saved and taken to Wellesbourne Mountford

Since this shot, the Crusader gate guard outside MCAS Kaneohe Bay has been repainted at least twice, with a 'DB' tail code and now 'WT' of VMF-232 which was a local F-8 unit. Doubtless the marks shown here are fictitious

Strangely marked as 96205 instead of the usual 26205. Based with the 56th RQS at Lakenheath, a place I associate more with the good old days of Super Sabres!
