Seen here taxiing out for its final display performance, the next day on departure homebound to Italy this prototype crashed in the sea near the Palm Deira after control loss, the pilots ejecting safely. The UAE Air Force was due to place an order for this light attack/advanced jet trainer, now being delivered to the Italian and Singapore AFs, but there was a dispute about spec and this event will surely make it even less likely. The PC-21 is now favoured in any case apparently

Seen in the unfamiliar livery of Trans Ocean two years after my shot at the same place in Scanair colours. The aircraft joined Burlington in 7.90 as a freighter but crashed on approach to Toledo, OH in bad weather on 15.2.92 while performing a cargo flight from Seattle (TT 70,430h)

Lionair operated a series of Caribbean charters from Manchester and Gatwick in 1988/89 for Airtours with this ex-Pan Am 747 using the Orionair AOC and crews, along with LX-FCV. Not long before going out of business, Orionair operated a third 747 in 1989 (N751PA) but that quickly gained a notorious reputation for reliability on UK services. LX-GCV was originally N770PA and joined Corse Air as F-GKLJ in 6.91. Stored at Chateauroux and b/u by 2002

The only surviving example of 1064 Defiants built, flying with 307 (Polish) Sqn in WWII coded 'EW-D' (now appears on the aircraft at Hendon) and later with 153 and 285 Sqn. The Merlin-powered Defiant was initially successful but once German pilots became aware of the rear and upward firepower, it was severely hampered by the extra weight of the turret. Put aside for preservation as long ago as 1944, first displayed at St Athan in 1960 and moved to the RAF Museum in 1971, back in night-fighter black finish
