The recce version of the Victor was said to be good for altitudes approaching 70,000 feet. From 1965 nine were converted from B.2s with cameras and powerful photoflash gear in the bomb bay and were sometimes referred to as B(SR).2s. Note the large drag-reducing fairings known as Whitecombe Pods or Krucheman Carrots on the wings, which doubled up as useful space for defensive ECM equipment. Served with 543 Sqdn till 1974 when three were again converted (to K.2); this one was scrapped at St Athan 12.91

Certainly the most rewarding result I had from Guernsey, the second Argosy to be built is seen here taxiing out in basic Air Anglia colours. First reg 2.1.59 then to Riddle, Zantop and Universal in the States; restored to G-APRL 11.73. Now preserved in Elan colours at the Midland Air Museum at Coventry

Thunderbirds ship # 4 was the slot machine that always caught the exhaust soot from the rest of the formation. Back in 1960 a decision had been made to allow the tail of #4 to remain black, although never painted as such. The Thunderbirds graduated to the heavy Phantom from the F-100D in 1969 and relinquished them in favour of T-38's in 1974 after a break thanks to the 1973 oil crisis. 66-0291 went into storage at Davis Monthan in 1991 as an NF-4E after test use at Edwards and removed for scrap 5.11

The F-106B was a two-seat fully combat capable trainer version of the Mach 2.3 Delta Dart and is seen here taxiing towards the end of its career with the 194th FIS. After withdrawal and a period at Andrews, it was carried as an underslung load by CH-54 Skycrane to Atlantic City IAP, NJ, where it was plinth-mounted in the colours of the local 177th FIS. It is wired up so that the external lights work at night and is one of five F-106B's displayed across the US

Inspired by reading Martinair's early history in Propliner, I decided to squeeze what quality I could out of this slide, one of my first ever (and unfortunately not Kodachrome). A familiar sight at Southend after conversion from Cv-340 in 4.66, it's good to see she was still alive and well, stored by C&M Airways at El Paso as N640CM in the late 2000s

Originally FM1023 of the R Malaysian AF, this Herald became very familiar to me as G-BEYG with BAF at Southend. Exported to Colombia a year before this shot, here "Don Celso" is seen taxiing to park alongside sister-ship HK-2702, ex G-BEYH. HK-2701 crashed on approach to Barranquilla on 16.9.91

Seaboard World was the first customer for this 707 when new off the Boeing line in 2.68 but it was quickly sold to Varig just six months later. Taken over by the Brazilian AF as FAB2401 in 7.86 and served as a tanker-transport in a smart white-based scheme. Auctioned off for dismantling in 1.14

Only the second 707 ever to visit Southend, little did we know what an important part of the scene they'd become there 20 years or so later. Just six months old at the time of this shot, this late-build machine stayed with Nigeria Airways throughout its life until w/o in a crash after take-off from Lagos on 20.12.94

After 12 years with AA, this 707 was leased by SPIA just two months before this shot, later being bought outright as N145SP. Became 4X-ATG with El Al in 1989 then back to N145SP with Florida West in 1992 followed by Seagreen. Scrapped at El Paso in 1999

Northwest and American Flyers operated this 1959 Electra before it was acquired by Shillelaghs in 1.72. Looking great on a rare visit to the UK, in 1986 she was converted to a freighter and flown by TPI International until wfu and broken up at MIA 12.89. Shillelaghs Travel Club still exists and claims to have been the first such organisation with its own aircraft
