Almost the longest day of the year so photos are possible looking south in the evening as flight HM001 rolls on 27R for Mahé (code SEZ, hence the registration, previously used on a 737). The 767 was delivered on 10.4.09 all-white and has previously served Bravo, Swe Fly, Aero Continente, Trans Brasil and originally Air New Zealand from 9.88

One of three 727s bought by Ethiopian and delivered in 10.79, this example was wfu at Shannon in 8.92 and stored as N979AL, eventually being converted to a freighter and leased by All Canada Express as C-FACJ in from 1.97. Operated in UPS colours but repainted in All Canada's own livery shortly before becoming C-GUJC in 5.03 and appearing in CargoJet Airways scheme - very smart, but nobody will beat that wonderful original ET paintwork!

Of the 541 of this 1937 shipboard reconnaissance design built, 12 were flown from Varna by the Bulgarian Navy during WWII. This one was almost destroyed in a post-war purge against items of Nazi origin but was hidden away, and is now one of only three complete examples in the world, the other two being in the US

This extraordinary aircraft was one of two converted in 1981 from tanker versions of the Myasishchev M-4 / 3M 'Bison' strategic bomber to convey large space launchers and similar payloads including the Buran space-shuttle; in all more than 150 loads were carried to the Baikonur launch site

Not too often you see something as small as an Aztec in full national airline colours. Was still flying in Greece in the late 2000s, with Global Aviation out of Megara

Ah, the colourful days of the USN... the last USN Tracker squadron, VS-37, was disestablished in 1976 when the S-3A Viking took over the ASW role. 152806 was one of their aircraft and arrived at MASDC in 2.75 and seemingly has since been broken up like so many others

The only time I got to see an Indian Connie... but I'm not complaining, what a fine sight! First delivered to Air India as VT-DJW "Rani of Bijapur" in 7.58; passed to the Air Force in 4.62 after freighter conversion. The Indian military was forced to retire its Constellations when Air India would no longer perform maintenance on them due to lack of spares; BG579 made the final flight on 31.3.84. BG583 was wfu at Pune in 1983 and apparently moved to Agra for storage for the IAF Museum. It survived there until at least late 1998, but its current status is unclear.
