At the holding point for runway 23, about to go on another sortie. Ex. PP-BTI.

Now based at the airport.

Undergoing maintenance at General Enterprises.

Ex D-ESBF.

Performing an engine run as part of maintenance. Former N223TE.

Taxiing to runway 23 for the next leg of the ferry journey. It arrived from Wick (Scotland) and was heading to Wangen (Switzerland), before continuing to its final destination being Tanzania (if I remember correctly). The aircraft has been modified to incorporate a different (and I guess more powerful) engine, tundra tires and canards on the sides of the engine cowling. All of the modifications allow for better short field operations.

Taxiing out for the long journey home. As I understood it, the routing was Eelde - Pula (Croatia) - Cyprus - Aqaba (Jordan) - Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).

Later became N500R and N567R.

Ex. G-BDRV and PH-PFS. After its time with OLT, it served in the Caribbean as F-OGXA under various operators.

Offloading passenger on the platform at Eelde. This Herald unfortunately didn't end its life well, as it taxied into a lamp post at Bournemouth in April 1997. With the wing damage too expensive to repair, the aircraft was written off. The cockpit section was preserved and resides at the Highland Aviation Museum in Inverness.

Later preserved as gate guard at Eindhoven Air Base, painted in demo markings as "C-8".

First registered on April 7, 1986. Cancelled March 25, 2005. Became G-JXTC and later serving as an instructional frame at the university of Glamorgan (Wales). With G-AOYG in the background.

Manufactured in 1954 and suffered quite a lot of incidents before being sold to Air America Inc. (not the one that was active in Vietnam). In 1983 it was impounded after it was "leased to people who got in trouble with Federal Drug Authorities". Apparently the Pembroke was an ideal "doper" and sold to the runners for $50.000 each. It could carry a dozen bales of marajuana and the big doors enabled a quick drop on a runway and even the belly doors were used for air drops. After its military life, the aircraft was reregistered N51973. It was seen in 2007 at Essex County Airport in Caldwell, NJ.
