A delightful visitor to the first show at Greenham Common, with a long British history behind her after wartime service as FZ638, flying for BOAC, BEA, Derby/BMA, Air Ulster and, after Air Anglia, Skyways. To VP-LVM with Air BVI in 2.80 and derelict at San Juan PR as N195SP by the late eighties

Quite a collection of piston power. After much research with a Colombian expert, the identity of this C-47 is now known (2021), as are several of the previously unknown FAC Daks. FAC677A turns out to be the former N91379, which was delivered to Colombia circa 1981. I was lucky enough to be able to tour the COTAM ramp allowing for close up shots of that rare DC-7 (FAC923) which was originally BOAC's G-AOIA, although the weather didn't play ball.

Began her career in 9.43 with the RCAF and put into service by the RAE at West Freugh in May 1969 as 'KG661'; in 1979 it was realised that this identity actually belonged to c/n 13478 so current serial ZA947 was allocated instead! On the strength of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight since Sep 1993 and used for multi-engine training.

This Dakota was rarely seen or photographed as it was tucked away inside the barracks on the far side of the field at Gatow. Originally delivered to the RAAF in Feb 1945 and flown over 11 days to Berlin to commemorate the Australian contribution to the Berlin airlift, arriving on 18 Jun 1980. Given the RAF serial ZD215 on arrival at Gütersloh after ferry flight from RAAF Butterworth (Malaysia) as until 1989 only British, French and American aircraft were guaranteed safe passage through the Berlin air corridor

Ten years on from my first shot of this ex-FAA C-47, here she is operating for Interandes. Sold to ADES in 1996 and later Aerovanguardia. Crashed 31.7.07 en route from San José del Guaviare to Villavicencio when one engine failed, forcing crew to carry out an emergency landing in a rice field, but repaired and now flying again with Sadelca

This 1942 C-47 was in Italy with the USAAF during the last part of WWII and remained there afterwards with Linee Airee Italiane as I-LINA. After the merger with Alitalia in 1957, went to the Air Force in 1960 and flew electronic missions with 14° Stormo Radiomisure. Dumped at Practica di Mare in 1998 and still derelict there. Sad for what was arguably the star of that Fairford show, but at least there is a similar example beautifully preserved in the IAF museum at Vigna di Valle
