Yankee Mike, delivered to BEA in 3.58, was the first Viscount to be graced with the superb Manx Airlines colours when leased from BAF between 2.85 and 10.85. Seen here on a fine morning just after pushback from the 'N' stands for her flight to Ronaldsway, the aircraft went to Lineas Aereas Canarias as EC-DYC following the Manx lease. Stored at Los Rodeos airport, Tenerife and moved to a park to be used as a restaurant but scrapped in 1999, although the nose was saved

Headed the historic line up of the Boeing Commercial Family, 707 through 777, for the 787 launch at Paine Field on 07th July 07

Registered to Vickers Armstrong as G-ASBM in 7.62, this was the third from last Viscount built and went initially to All Nippon then SAN Ecuador in 1970. First arriving in Colombia in 1975 with TAC (later renamed Aerocesar), she was sold to Intercontinental in 1987. Wfu a couple of months before this shot, the fuselage remains intact at El Dorado in private hands having at one stage served as a police social club. Noted in May 2008; the wings are apparently stored separately

Registered to Vickers Armstrong as G-ASBM in 7.62, this was the third from last Viscount built and went initially to All Nippon then SAN Ecuador in 1970. First arriving in Colombia in 1975 with TAC (later renamed Aerocesar), she was sold to Intercontinental in 1987. Wfu a couple of months before this shot, the fuselage remains intact at El Dorado in private hands having at one stage served as a police social club. Noted in May 2008; the wings are apparently stored separately

I can remember seeing this machine as N525EJ regularly cruising up Red One in the late Sixties in its distinctive red Executive Jet Aviation c/s. Here on a diversion to Heathrow looking immaculate while taxiing out along the southside, she was flown by BCal for 15 years from 6.70 and converted to EC-137D for the USAF using its c/n as serial (with year of construction 67 as FY prefix), entering service in 1992. Into storage at DM in 6.02 and still there

The Privateer entered Navy service during the late summer of 1944 with the last of 739 delivered in October 1945. It was developed from the B-24 Liberator as a maritime patrol bomber and had six gun turrets - note the deleted rear fuselage blisters in this view. N3739G was originally the USN's Bu no. 59819 and this identity is now quoted as the aircraft's msn. Retired as a fire bomber in 1991 and to the Lone Star Museum, Galveston, TX; now fully restorated to original military condition
