32 Sqn have recently added this BAe 146 (ex OO-TAZ of TNT), classified in RAF service as a C.3. First delivered to Air Jet as F-GOMA in 1994

'DLH5RP' arriving from Munich

One of the absolute stars of the Kecskemét Air Show, seen here landing after a practice performance on the Friday photoday

Nicely preserved at the Aviodrome in her original demonstrator colours, the second prototype Fokker Friendship had a long career with LTU, IFG and WDL as D-BAKI before acquisition for preservation in 1995. Actually the third F27 built, as the second was a static test airframe; parts of prototype F27 PH-NIV's fuselage are stored behind one of the hangars at Lelystad

JJ9098 from GIG about to touch down on 09L. The winglets were fitted in Dec 2012 at ATL while the aircraft was still CC-BDL with LAN, moving to TAM in mid-June 2013

Acquired by Samair just two weeks earlier and seen here positioning in from LGW as CCS303P

This former Mexicana F100 was acquired by Sol del Paraguay in Oct 2010 but the airline ceased operation in Aug 2012 and the aircraft arrived at Saarbrücken in December for storage. The registration ZP-CAL was then removed and the Dutch identity used back in 1995 was re-allocated (but not applied) when acquired by Mass Jet Lease in Mar 2013

This Provider was taken on charge in 1957 as a C-123B and served in Vietnam from 1961 to 1972, first as a UC-123B and later as a UC-123K when the auxiliary J85 jets were added, flying low-level defoliant and insecticide spray missions and cargo deliveries into strips as short as 2,000ft. Stored at Davis-Monthan from 1976 but reactivated for the Peruvian police on drug interdiction work under US Department of State registration N97033 from 1987 (nicknamed "El Burro"), prior to preservation at Dover in 1990. Serial presentation "AF40-658" is of course nonsense and should have read "AF54-658".

Departure on one of Yangon's domestic services which cover about a dozen destinations

One of a pair delivered a few days earlier as N8153K, to be based at Mandalay providing tourist and business charters

At least 36 of the Chinese reverse-engineered MiG-21 copy are thought to have been obtained by Burma from 1991 along with some two-seat trainers, a number being upgraded by Israel around 1997

Although the Wyvern was designed as a turboprop-powered carrier-based strike aircraft, VR137 was built in 1947 at Yeovil as the seventh and last preproduction TF.Mk.1. It was the sole one fitted with a 2,690 hp Rolls-Royce Eagle 22 24-cylinder sleeve valve flat-H piston engine, but was never flown. Of the 127 built, this is the only survivor

While developing the XP-84, Republic looked at installing rockets in fighters, inspired by late wartime German research. However the resulting XP-91 was quickly obsolete thanks to the rapidly increasing performance of newer jet engines and only two prototypes were built, although one was the first US fighter to exceed Mach 1 in level flight. An unusual feature was the wing planform, markedly tapered outwards from the fuselage to a wide chord at the wingtips to combat stall problems with early swept-wing designs

Operated for the Empire Test Pilots School at Boscombe Down under the QinetiQ Long Term Partnering Agreement. Ex G-BZAY of BA CityFlyer

Touch-down for the last time ever of the last VC-10 built, for preservation by the Brooklands Museum. Never would have dreamt I'd be taking this shot 36 years later when I took my photo of her as 5H-MOG in 1977!

Special scheme to mark 30 years of service by the PC-7 in the Austrian AF, which will be reached this December
