Only the deflated right tyre belies the fact that this nice old Avro had already been stored for about four years at the time of this shot. Delivered new to Nepal in 3.70 and still stored at last report. Sister-ship 9N-AAU was also seen, on the dump in original Royal Nepal colours

Turning in after landing on runway 02 and seen soon after the application of the fancy 'Indus Valley Civilization' colours

Imported from Sweden in 9.02 but wfu by this time, remaining in store thereafter

This 737 was just over six months old at the time, but already Air Sahara had been taken over by Jet Airways. Transferred to JetLite in 5.08 then JetKonnect and to Jeju Air in 4.14 (HL8296)

Acquired from Comair in 2000, ex N320CA, but up for sale by the time of this shot. The airline had temporarily suspended flying just a few days before when their only operational aircraft, a Fokker 100, was grounded. The Saab was ferried to Linköping for maintenance in 5.08 and stored, then to Solinair as S5-BBS in 6.11

Four out of six Buddha Beechcraft at rest. At this time they had two 1900Cs (since sold) and four of the bigger 1900Ds, but ATRs were later added to the fleet. The airline is well known for providing Himalaya sight-seeing flights as well as regional services

Taxiing out for the return leg to DAC after the first ever service to KTM by this private Bangladeshi airline. The MD-80 was originally a Korean Air machine and was obtained from Lion Air (ex PK-LMF) earlier that month. GMG had hoped to expand service to Singapore and the UK in 2010 but in 2012 the airline's operations were suspended
