Despite the attractive colours, this airline lasted only for seven months starting in March 2006. The aircraft was first with PSA as N352PS from March 1985 and joined Titan in 1997 as G-ZAPL after being leased to Debonair. Became EI-PAT with CityJet in AF colours, then TN-AIC, D6-BJH and stored as ZS-SFZ in 2010

The well-known NAF Mildenhall Super Dak at the annual Open House. On 21.11.73 the aircraft encountered severe icing over Iceland during a local supply flight, making it impossible to maintain height, so the crew elected to make a forced landing on a frozen river. The ice broke but 171 stayed afloat. After recovery the remains were abandoned and are still there topped by ice and snow

This early Phantom (original designation F4H-1F) set a low-altitude speed record, still unbeaten, on 28.8.61, when Lts Huntington Hardisty (pilot) and Earl De Esch (RIO) flew her at 903 mph over a 3 km low-altitude course at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The maximum altitude reached was only 125 ft, fully living up to the project name - Sageburner. 145307 is seen here at the NASM's storage facility with B-29 'Enola Gay'

Once well-known in Europe as Finnair's OH-LRF from new in 1957, this Convair was written off ferrying to Bolivia as CP-2256 for SASA on 13.9.93. Two hours after take-off from Lima, the crew realised that the magnetic compass was broken. Due to low fog the crew were not able get a visual fix so they climbed to FL180 to locate the Cordillera Mountain range. When the engines started to backfire, a belly landing was safely made in open countryside

The recovery operation begins. Flight BA38 landed about 300 meters short of runway 27L on 18 Jan 2008, after both engines had lost power due to a restricted fuel flow. The left main gear was pushed up through the wing, and the right main gear separated from the wing entirely. Fuel leaked, but there was no fire. Actually witnessing the scene brought home the extraordinarily short distance in which Triple Mike stopped. The lack of deformation is some credit to the integrity of Boeing's design, too.

This colourful Squirrel was doing construction work on the shore of lovely Lake Como and landed on the mountainside very near the house in which I was staying.

It was delightful to have the opportunity to shoot this superbly preserved VEB-built Il-14 in such nice conditions, well worth the 130km drive from Berlin. Once displayed in Interflug colours at the Halle ice stadium after being written off in a hard landing, it became derelict and was on the verge of being scrapped before being rescued by the Technik-Museum Hugo Junkers and restored in the colours of East Germany's Deutsche Lufthansa, the forerunner of Interflug
