At the time the world's last surviving civilian Strat, this one was delivered to Northwest as 'Stratocruiser Chicago' on July 10, 1949. Stored by Aero Spacelines, but they did not use it in their Guppy conversion programme. Seen here still in basic NW colours, not long before being broken up - such a shame

Visiting Bykovo is always a gamble - you never know whether it's going to be worth the photo fees. I was delighted to see this rarity land just before entering the ramp. Polet suspended operations in 11.14 and the An-30 was placed in store at Voronezh

Just over a month before this shot was taken from a Cessna 172, the famous Starlifter 'Hanoi Taxi' arrived at the US Air Force Museum in Dayton to mark the end of an era as the last eight of the type were finally withdrawn. Here surrounded by KC-135s and F-111s, they were being broken up at quite a rate

Delivered to Cubana December 1968 and wfu by 1999; was due for conversion to restaurant but probably since b/u. It was a bit tricky negotiating access to this remote apron, near to where the new terminal has since been built, but well worth it - two IL-18s, IL-14, DC-3, Yak-40...

First with Rousseau Aviation after being registered as G-AYIR by HS in 1970, this 748 ended its days in Canada with Wasaya. Burnt out when parked after arrival at Sandy Lake Airport, ON for a fuel drop off. Note the custom-fit hangar doors to keep the cold out in this 1988 record. When I shot C-FTTW in the same place two years earlier, it was still in ex-Air Botswana colours

Jumbos were never widely used by Delta until much more recently as a result of the Northwest takeover, but they could be seen on Heathrow schedules for a short period back in the Seventies. And they will have the distinction of being the last US airline to operate them on passenger services. N9900, seen here taking off from runway 10R in September 1974, was a 1971-build Srs 100 converted to a freighter in 1977. Went to Flying Tigers as N805FT being taken over by FedEx as N625FE; ended up as Kalitta's N709CK and and scrapped at Oscoda, MI (the old Wurtsmith AFB) in 2015

I was fortunate to catch similar photos of both Sudan Comets within a couple odd days of each other; here is ST-AAW touching down on LHR's 10L. Bought by Dan-Air 6.75 and restored to her unfamiliar pre-delivery reg G-ASDZ but never operated; broken up later the same year at Lasham

Once Court Line's G-AXMI (del. 3.70), this 1-11 is seen here in temporary colours having freshly arrived from Dan-Air with whom it served as G-BDAE from 3.75. After her BWA career which included several lease periods with Sabena, she ended her days marked with 'Fresh' titles for filming and then British Heart Foundation titles/logos for a charity promotion just before the final chop in April 2006

Southend attracted more than its fair share of exotic propliners seeking the attentions of ATEL and this C-54 was no exception. Of 1944 vintage, she went to KLM in 1945 and France's TAI in 1948. Bought by Air Afrique 1966 and sold to Air Comores after the Southend overhaul as F-OCSV. Lastly to SOACO as TR-LUT in 1975 and wfu two years later, then broken up
