NX258Y (cn 2) Crashed with the death of the pilot/owner James Wright on August 4, 2003 in Wyoming. The probable cause of the accident was the in-flight loss of a propeller counterweight, followed by the pilots loss of aircraft control during a forced landing attempt and subsequent inadvertent stall/spin to the ground. |

ZK-DAK (cn 15035/26480) The last time aircraft will ever be seen parked up here. Having served for over 85 years, to the RNZAF, to the WWII effort, to Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, to auto enthusiasts, Wigram Airfield is laid to rest in the bounds of property development. |

N746L (cn 37) The old Saudia colours looked good on most types and here is one of the least-often seen. This aircraft spent two lease periods with them (3.75-4.77 and 1.78-11.80), having started out in 2.59 as N146L (later N746L) with Bonanza, merged into Air West and then Hughes Airwest in 4.70. Sold to Aeronor Chile as CC-CBS in 12.80 and now on display at the old Los Cerrillos airport in the Chilean National Air & Space Museum |

5T-CJT (cn 62) We were lucky enough to get three of the Mauritanian Fairchilds through Southend for maintenance. This aircraft, of 1959 vintage, initially served the colourful Bonanza Air Lines (which had a fleet of 11 of the type) as N148L then N748L, being sold on in 7.74 by Hughes Airwest via IAL to Mauritania. She returned to the US in 12.83 and two years later found her way to Aerocozumel in Mexico, taking up the reg XA-NAP formerly used on a Comet 4. Wfu at Cozumel early '90s |

VH-PLJ (cn 128-0445D) It was awesome to watch this bird track the taxiway all the way around the tarmac, slowly flying at a couple of meters above the ground - right where the fixed wing aircraft would have to humbly roll on wheels :) |

N19904 Yes, she is riding on water. Formerly owned/used by Howard Hughes (bought 1939 TWA). One of 10 307s built. First high-altitude commercial and first four-engine airliner in scheduled domestic service. Total of 500 flight hours over 25 years until hurricane damage in 1964.
