Looking great in the early Tigers scheme, pulling into what used to be referred to as the "Z" cargo cul-de-sac where the FT shed was located.

Must have found something to climb up onto otherwise those bins would have thwarted me completely... in those days before H&S rules went crazy, I could even get a friendly fork-lift driver to help out occasionally with a lift on a pallet! This is the former N8055U of UA which became 5N-AWZ when actually bought by Trans Sahel in 11.86. Then to African International (3D-ADV) in 8.87 and stored at JNB as ZS-PAE, b/u by 2012

An order by BAF for the 146 was never forthcoming, despite this demo paint job, although they did short-term lease some 200s and a 300 later on. This, the fourth-built 146, was later re-registered by the RAF, Dan-Air, Merpati, National Jet Systems and Debonair, eventually being broken up at Adelaide in 5.09 after use by Qantas Airlink in 2001 and return to National Jet

This exotic machine was one of a pair of Y12s seen at Pokhara, performing services to Jomson in Nepal's Mustang kingdom, at 8,800ft known as one of the most dangerous airports in the world and therefore a flight-sim favourite. First served Aero Bengal as S2-AAR from 1998, moving to Nepal in 05.07 but since became B-3842 with China Flying Dragon Aviation. Has "Made in China" embossed proudly across the control yoke!

The very friendly Sita Air provided an exciting ride up to Lukla, the third-highest airport in the world, giving me the opportunity to make a video which later went out via AirlineHobby. However tragically the sister aircraft in which I flew crashed on 28.9.12 and the company was closed down

Nicknamed "Spotty" for obvious reasons, this is one of 38 Cheetah C variants which constituted South Africa's only fighters until superceded by the JAS39 Gripen in 2008. Ecuador will now be the only country flying this Mirage-derived design, taking 12 ex-SAAF examples

The Albatross which forms part of the superb outdoor collection at the Museo del Aire has recently been moved into a slightly better position for photos, possibly as a result of the Do 24 going indoors for restoration. Still carrying the former US serial, she served Esc 55/801 in the SAR role from Son San Joan airbase, Palma de Majorca. A total of 28 HU-16s were operated by the Spanish from 1954 to 1978
