One of my earliest Kodachromes, at the Battle of Britain Day. This Scampton Wing Vulcan, still resplendent here in the original glossy camouflage, was delivered on 19.7.62 and lost on 11.8.78 when it crashed practicing for a display at Glenview NAS, Chicago. Note the Isaacs Fury II 7/10ths scale replica G-ASCM in the foreground

The US Army leased a pair of Fairflight Short 330s in 9.87 to use at their Kwajalein Atoll missile testing base in the Marshall Islands, but only retained them for about six months. This one was ex G-BIOE and was restored to that registration, later being used by BAC Express. Scrapped by Gill Air at Newcastle in 5.98
