N80FA (cn 10273/7) Working at Southend Airport in the 'Seventies produced some great opportunities. Just before N80FA departed on its ferry flight to Texas, I was able to fix up an air-to-air session from Cessna 172 G-ATLN. We flew as fast as possible, the Carvair as slow as it could with everything down. I can still hear those P&Ws roaring over the sound of my open window and the general racket in the Cessna. I even sold my car to one of the Falcon directors who duly loaded and flew home to the States with it - truly Car-via-air as Freddie Laker originally intended. This aircraft crashed in Alaska in 1997 as N103; another of the few remaining Carvairs suffered a similar fate up there in May 2007, so now only two survive. |

G-AOHT (cn 168) A busy pier on a dull day at MAN with five classic types and an excellent opportunity to compare the noses of the Caravelle and Comet. It is often mentioned that Sud-Est used the Comet nose when designing the SE.210. Indeed there was co-operation leading to the noses of the first two prototypes being direct copies and those thereafter very similar including cockpit layout. |

26 white (cn unknown) Not sure whether an Ekranoplan really counts as an aircraft, but here is the beast on the Moscow river to form part of a new museum. It is located in Tushino, near the park and metro station 'Schodnenskaya'. Photo taken from a friendly owner's houseboat |

Named 'Stoyki' and one of four converted for forest fire fighting duties. Most of the type's production run of about 140 went to the Soviet Navy |

D-CXXX (cn 16124/32872) Berlin's resident DC-3 is seen here sharing the unique Templehof covered parking area with fellow Dakotas SE-CFP, G-AMPY and LN-WND to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Berlin Airlift. D-CXXX was formerly G-AMPZ so it is certainly not the first time she has sat alongside Air Atlantique sister-ship G-AMPY! |

YI-AEC (cn 2129) Not really the time to have been messing around experimenting with low shutter speeds to blur the background, but I guess it didn't seem so special then. Simple history - to Iraqi 13.5.66 and wfu Baghdad 6.77; all three Iraqi Tridents presumed b/u, although one fuselage survived till at least 2003 on a training ground |

G-YMMM (cn 30314/342) The recovery operation begins. Actually witnessing the scene brought home the extraordinarily short distance in which Triple Mike stopped. The lack of deformation is some credit to the integrity of Boeing's design, too |

OY-SEW (cn 21688/1415) A photo mission in a Cessna 172 over Davis Monthan and Marana afforded this opportunity above Hamilton's facility on finals back into Tucson. Note the two B733's being prepared for Atlant-Soyuz and the engineless B732 of Sakhalin AT. In the foreground the MD-83 is ex-Air Liberte, the left B727 ex-Cougar |

9N-AET (cn 619) If you look carefully you will see the Twin Otter on finals to this extraordinary airport. The runway is a 1700ft strip running 12% uphill, on the edge of a deep ravine and ending at a sheer mountain wall. All landings are uphill (06), all take-offs downhill (24). Only captains with at least seven years' experience are allowed to fly there |
