Three VC-10s sharing Heathrow's 'Hotel' stands, just days before East African Airways was dissolved. First flying in Feb 1970, 5H-MOG was the last one built and was latterly the RAF 101 Sqdn's K.3 ZA150, scrapped in 2013. Note 5th engine pod. Behind is the penultimate one built, 5X-UVJ, which became ZA149 and coincidentally made the penultimate flight of the type into Dunsfold for the Brooklands Museum on 24 Sept 2013 (my photos also on AH).

Looking immaculate after a heavy shower, in 12.70 this L.100 was delivered to Saturn, which merged with Trans International in 12.76. Registered N912SJ with Southern AT in early 1988 and leased by Transafrik as S9-BOQ in 9.99; bought by Safair 12.04 becoming ZS-ORC, then 5X-UCG with Uganda Air Cargo from 8.12

2008 should have brought a visit by Heathrow by this magnificent machine to close her British Eagle season, marking the last service into LHR by that airline exactly 40 years earlier. However, thanks to a deplorable decision at a late stage by the BAA to refuse permission, it didn't happen. Here's a tiny consolation from her working career, on a mail run from Heathrow due to a BA crew strike

Caught during the first few days of her lease from Finnair, in 1965 this was only the sixth DC-9 to be built. Firstly Air Canada's CF-TLC, she quickly passed to Trans Texas/International (N1792U). BMA registered her G-BMAH in 6.83 and in 12.95 she wound up in Colombia with Intercontinental as HK-4056X, ultimately being broken up at Bogotá in 09.03
