R6775 / YT-J Battle of Britain Memorial in Kent. Painted in the colours of the Jeffery Quill OBE AFC, the most famous Spitfire pilot (he was development pilot for prototype K5054). He was so keen to gain battle experience and contribute to the war effort, he enrolled in the Battle of Britain Squadron 65 (Hornchurch), shooting down a Messerchmitt Bf 109E fighter and a Heinkel He 111 bomber. Quill passed away on 20-Feb-1996, aged 83. |

N109GR (cn 11043) No prizes for guessing the operator of this smart Agusta! Castle Air supply the television business with helicopter support, including Treasure Hunt, The Flying Gardener and many more. Just ten days after this image was taken, this aircraft was re-registered to N195NJ. |

WJ231 / O-115 The Sea Fury owes its ancestry to the Hawker Tempest. The pace of development of propeller aircraft pushed Hawker to attempt to shoe-horn the mighty 2,500 hp Bristol Centaurus 18-cylinder radial piston engine into a compact and lightweight airframe. They succeeded and produced the fantastic Fury. Unfortunately the RAF declined the aircraft because of their large stock of Typhoons. The Royal Navy loved it, and the Sea Fury became one of the most successful carrier-based aircraft of all time. |

HS-AXE (cn 193C-1097) Reflecting golden sunshine at dusk, this lovely Tristar was ready for takeoff on evening departure to Taipei as flight 9I328. Unfortunately the pilots decided to abort takeoff due to reportedly engine failure on this second Tristar of Thai Sky Airlines. The aircraft then returned to the apron and the departure was eventually delayed for 7 hours to 0200+1 LT. Hope Thai Sky Airlines could avoid such delays in the future to keep Tristar a regular sighting in Hong Kong. |
